TransCare+

Published purpose

Through this 38-month project, TransCare+ will build stronger capacity of 2SLGBTQI+ community organizations and networks to advance 2SLGBTQI+ equality. It will address the health and wellness needs of Two-Spirit, trans, and gender-diverse (2STGD) people and communities by establishing a working group and sub-committees composed of people with lived experience from the Francophone, Black, and Indigenous 2STGD communities. They will address the gaps and barriers in the health and wellness services, legislation, policies, administration, and funding that impact the care needs and experiences of the target group. The project will also contribute to community capacity building by engaging stakeholders at the governmental, healthcare, and community levels in promoting 2STGD health, care, and wellbeing. The project will include A) the establishment of project governance, B) the increase of the organization's knowledge of 2STGD challenges and barriers to health and wellness, C) the creation of a 2STGD Health and Wellness Strategic Plan, D) the development and distribution of a 2STGD Health and Wellness Advocacy Strategy, and E) data collection, monitoring, and evaluation of tools. With the Supplemental funds and extension provided in early 2026, TransCare+ will F) Develop a Comprehensive Organizational Sustainability Plan; G) Build and Integrate Knowledge Infrastructure and Organizational Systems; H) Strengthen and Formalize Partnerships and Networks; and I) Monitor Progress and Document Organizational Learning. Through this they will further advance Gender Equality.
