Listening and Learning: 2SLGBTQIA+ Inclusion Across NL Health Service

2SLGBTQIA+ patients often encounter barriers to equitable health care and employment opportunities. NL Health Services recognizes the importance of creating meaningful change to reduce these barriers. The co-leads of our Sexual and Gender Diversity Employee Resource Group will share the work we are doing to improve education and awareness of issues that face the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, provide resources to support NL Health Services’ staff who want to learn more, and learn from the community itself to help inform our future planning. Participants will learn about what NL Health Services is doing to listen, learn, and take action to create safe, equitable, and affirming spaces for all.

Health Equity to Health Justice

Health equity has become a dominant framework in public policy, yet profound gaps in health and wellbeing persist. This session argues that equity alone is not enough. Drawing on strategic work at Stella’s Circle, it explores what it means to move beyond closing service gaps toward transforming the systems that shape health outcomes. Participants will leave with practical questions and tools to apply a health justice lens in community and policy settings.

Tari Ajadi is Director of Strategy at Stella’s Circle. He leads organizational strategy, impact evaluation, advocacy, and cross-sector partnerships to strengthen community wellbeing in housing, employment, and mental health. His work bridges evidence, public policy analysis, and institutional practice to challenge systemic inequities and advance equitable care and support. He holds a PhD in Political Science and lives and works in St. John’s, Newfoundland.

Gender-Affirming Primary Care Toolkit

Approximately 1-in-300 Canadians over the age of 15 identify as transgender or non-binary, a population disproportionately affected by healthcare inequities (Scheim, 2021). Because primary care providers (PCPs) are often the first point of contact for individuals seeking gender-affirming care (GAC), their capacity to provide knowledgeable, affirming care is critical. In Newfoundland and Labrador (NL), research conducted by TSNL found that 84% of surveyed patients seeking GAC were referred outside their family physician, highlighting systemic barriers to timely and comprehensive care. To better understand these gaps, qualitative interviews with five gender-diverse individuals in rural NL informed a province-wide survey exploring access, barriers, and successes related to GAC over the past five years, revealing recurring challenges such as limited provider knowledge, reliance on referrals, and a lack of affirming clinical environments.

These research findings directly informed the development of an educational toolkit. Part one introduces foundational concepts related to gender identity, inclusive healthcare practices, and strategies for creating welcoming clinical environments, while part two focuses on gender affirming primary healthcare, principles of care, NL specific barriers, clinical conversations, treatment planning, and current standards of care. Ongoing consultation with community members and experienced providers ensured the toolkits accuracy and relevance. Next steps for this project focus on outreach to health clinics, dissemination through academic and professional networks, and delivery of workshops and training opportunities to support more equitable, sustainable access to GAC in NL.

From Good Intentions to Better Care: An Interactive Workshop on 2SLGBTQIA+ Healthcare

A fast-paced, interactive skills lab grounded in our national Queering the Compass work and adapted for NL. Designed for healthcare and service providers, this workshop strengthens 2SLGBTQIA+ sexual and reproductive health (SRH) care and inclusive, affirming care more broadly by building confidence, shared language, and concrete tools participants can use immediately. The session is rooted in local realities: limited affirming services, rural and remote access barriers, confidentiality concerns in small communities, and the need for culturally safe, intersectional approaches for Indigenous, racialized, disabled, trans, non-binary, and Two-Spirit people.

Through short scenarios, guided reflection, discussion, and hands-on practice, participants will work through what affirming care looks like in everyday interactions. The focus is practical application, not theory alone. Participants will practice language and approaches that reduce assumptions about bodies, partners, gender, sexuality, and family goals, and strengthen skills for asking sensitive questions with consent and care. The workshop also examines how “standard” processes, such as intake forms, clinic flow, eligibility rules, and documentation, can unintentionally create harm through ableism, stigma, bias, and gatekeeping. Participants will collaboratively identify realistic adjustments that increase access, dignity, agency, and safety across diverse settings.

Change Starts Upstream — A Glimpse into the Liberatory Effect of Community-Centered Care in St. John’s

In the wake of a national overdose crisis, fuelled by a toxic drug supply, the province of Newfoundland & Labrador has seen a significant increase in overdoses, with over 100 reported fatalities since 2023. In an effort to address this crisis, Overdose Awareness & Response St. John’s (O.A.R.S.) has been operating a pop-up overdose prevention site every Friday night, since May of 2025.

The holistic approach undertaken by groups such as O.A.R.S. is slowly transforming the urban landscape of the city. Change starts upstream — by reimagining care in ways that transcend the borders of medical institutions, and bringing it back into the community, one conversation, one connection at a time.

Seen or Judged? How Healthcare Systems Shape Care for People Who Use Substances 

This presentation examines barriers to healthcare access for people who use substances in Canada, with a specific focus on Newfoundland and Labrador, through a trauma-informed and systems-based lens. Drawing on current overdose and hospitalization data, it highlights how stigma, bias, and healthcare workers’ attitudes shape patient experiences, influence care-seeking behaviors, and contribute to avoidable health harms. The presentation explores how systemic factors—including rurality, service fragmentation, and criminalization—intersect with provider perceptions to limit equitable access to care. Emphasis is placed on the critical role of trauma-informed, non-judgmental healthcare practices in improving trust, engagement, and health outcomes for this highly stigmatized population.

Helping Hands: Two Lay Health Interventions to Improve Gender-Affirming Surgery Outcomes for Patients in NL

While gender-affirming surgeries for Newfoundlanders and Labradorians are performed out-of-province, the months-long waiting and recovery periods primarily take place here at home. This presentation explores two programs led by lay health professionals that could be implemented in-province to support patients during these extensive pre- and post-surgery periods: a trans-specific prehabilitation (“prehab”) program, and a community health worker cohort able to provide non-medical post-operative support. Grounded in evidence from other surgical contexts, these approaches offer an actionable, community-driven path forward to enhance surgical outcomes for transgender patients within the constraints of our current system.

POSTPONED TO FUTURE DATE

PrEPing for Success: Building PrEP Prescribing Capacity in Primary Care

Rates of HIV infection have been increasing in Newfoundland and Labrador. Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) medications are tools that can be used to prevent many of these infections; however, they are being underutilized by primary care providers (PCPs) and are inaccessible to many who could benefit from their use. This session aims to decrease PrEP access disparities by building PCP capacity to prescribe PrEP. There will also be notes woven throughout the workshop on how 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals and other health professionals can use this information to advocate for themselves and/or their clients.

Julia Abundo (she/her) is the Provincial Coordinator of HIV/HCV Services at the ACNL and a registered social worker.

Care Power: Images of Medical Authority in Gender-Nonconforming Graphic Memoirs

Often, graphic memoirs about gender-nonconforming experiences depict encounters with healthcare, not as isolated events but as recurring moments affecting how identity is lived. Drawing from disability, gender, and comics studies, this presentation examines how healthcare operates as a form of cultural and institutional authority in graphic memoirs depicting gender-nonconforming experiences. It focuses on the ambivalent role of medical care as both enabling and constraining trans identity formation. By foregrounding healthcare as an everyday instrument of authority embedded within trans narratives, this presentation contributes to broader discussions of power, institutions, and queer experience.
