Education
Treat it Queer offers trainings and lectures for health care professionals and people interested in queer health. These can be developed on-demand and designed specifically for your target group.
Further, we are happy to provide our events in a variety of accessible formats (e.g. live captions, colourblind-adapted graphs and texts, etc.)
Thematic workshops.
Thematic areas we can cover in our workshops include, but are not limited to:
Inclusive language and approaches to gender and sexually diverse patients in clinical practice (ENG/NL)
Easy, accessible, and fun training for health care providers that want to learn how to comfortably talk to all patients during generalist and specialist consultations. Suited for GPS, medical specialists, and other health care providers.
Queer refugee health (ENG/FR)
A public health perspective on the health challenges faced by queer refugees, encompassing mental and somatic health, as well as immigration/legal issues. By virtue of the team’s experience, the content of this workshop is Canadian context-focused, while retaining a global perspective.
Intersectional approaches to health (ENG/NL/IT)
Using an intersectional lens allows us to gain a better understanding of the ways in which health inequities arise. This training offers practical and theoretical tools to explore how the dynamics of privilege and oppression related to gender, race, and class affect health justice. Suited for researchers and policy makers.
Gender nonconformity in reproductive care (ENG/NL/IT)
This lecture explores how gender variance challenges the way we think of and organize reproductive health care. We will investigate our gender-related assumptions and explore ways of creating more accessible fertility treatments and perinatal care for gender-nonconforming patients.
Transitional health (ENG/NL)
An overview of up-to-date, available transitional care options. Discussions of both feminizing and masculizing gender-affirming procedures, including hormonal therapies and surgical techniques.
