Hello,
A colleague of mine is psychiatrist and is trying to compile a list of 2SLGBTQ+ supportive mental health practitioners in our area that she can refer out to. Due to some issues in our town with people self-identifying as allies but that not translating into their practice, she wants the list to come from members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community. Right now she's just talking to clients she sees but it hoping to have a better methodology.
In 2017, the second iteration of the European Men-who-have-sex-with-men Internet Survey (EMIS-2017) was launched. This survey collected data from gbMSM living in 50 countries, including Canada, to generate data useful for planning HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention and care programs, and monitoring of progress in these areas. This webinar will provide the Canadian results from that survey.
