Trans Health Mentorship Call (Rainbow Health Ontario)
The RHO’s Trans Health Mentorship call is a teleconference every other week for Ontario clinicians to connect with peers who have experience caring for trans and non-binary service users. The call is open to any professional (physician, nurse, social worker, mental health worker, etc.) who is or will be working with trans and non-binary service users. Providers are invited to build knowledge, ask questions and share experiences. The topics discussed range from specific case-based questions to more general social or ethical issues. Providers who join can contribute to a community of practice and establish valuable professional networks.
When: The 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month
Membership for the Call is managed through 2SLGBTQ Health Connect, RHO’s online learning platform. To join the Call, sign up for an account on 2SLGBTQ Health Connect and select “Trans Health Mentorship Call” in the course selection from the main menu.
