PHO Webinar: Affirming Perinatal Care for 2SLGBTQIA+ Individuals

Providing inclusive and affirming healthcare to 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals can feel challenging for visiting nurses and other healthcare providers, given the relatively limited coverage of this topic in formal curricula. This webinar offers a space to learn about inclusive perinatal care for 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals in Ontario. We'll use practical examples to support a better understanding of best practices in caring for pregnant and postpartum 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals, their partners and families. The session covers inclusive language, providing trauma-informed care to 2SLGBTQIA+ people, and findings from relevant research with 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions to two experts and gain access to a list of supportive resources for their practice.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
-Identify terms and language that are inclusive and affirming to 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals
-Understand the principles and importance of a trauma-informed approach towards 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals during the perinatal period
-Gain more knowledge about health research in Canada related to 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals and parents
-Identify supportive resources for their practice concerning 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals’ perinatal care
