The 2SLGBTQIA+ Liaison Nurse Project
We see the 2S/LGBTQIA+ Liaison Nurse Project as the project that really cemented the need for AdJust and for us to come together as a collective doing this work. A multi-year project focused on the scale up and understanding of the role in many settings, the 2S/LGBTQIA+ Liaison Nurse is a unique Nursing role in Canada. The Liaison Nurse provides essential services to the 2S/LGBTQIA+ community through safe and inclusive care, with a focus on gender affirming practice. We are honoured to be at the forefront of this collaborative community-based research that aims to not only support individuals in their care, but also on a systemic level-advocating for necessary changes in healthcare.
