SUMMARY:Gender-Affirming Care Drop-In
DESCRIPTION:Our Affirm Program is excited to announce a new virtual drop-in throughout the month of March! 🏳️‍⚧️ \n\n\n\n💫 The drop-in is open to trans and gender-diverse people of all ages who want support in navigating gender-affirming care\, whatever that might look like for them. Our navigators offer free resources\, system navigation support\, peer counselling from someone with lived experience\, and peer connection opportunities. \n\n\n\nFrequent topics of support include navigating: \n\n\n\n🌷Affirming Care: accessing hormones\, surgeries\, and medical care\, connecting people to gender-affirming and peer programs\, and identifying trans-inclusive providers. \n\n\n\n🌷Affirming Contraception: trans-centered support around pregnancy prevention\, menstrual suppression\, endometriosis management\, polycystic ovarian syndrome\, and affirming contraceptive decision making. \n\n\n\n🌷Affirming Pregnancy: trans-centered discussions around pathways to parenthood\, parenting resources\, fertility preservation\, accessing abortion as a trans person\, and navigating a pregnancy as a trans person. \n\n\n\n💖 We know everyone’s journey is different and some people may be facing complex challenges in finding care. We aim to support you in finding the best options for you to find the care you are looking for. Note: we are not a medical clinic. \n\n\n\n🗓️ When and where will the drop-in take place? \n\n\n\nThe gender-affirming care drop-in will take place virtually on Mondays from 6pm-8pm on Google Meet\, starting March 3 and ending March 24. \n\n\n\n➡️ Scan the QR code or visit https://linktr.ee/knowppottawa to access the drop-in! \n\n\n\nAny questions? Email our drop-in facilitator Seth at affirm@ppottawa.ca. \n\n\n\nSee you there! ❤️
