Welcome to The 2SQTP-NB/P2SQT-NB Knowledge Bank and Resource Hub
2SQTP-NB (Two-Spirit, Queer and Trans Pathways New Brunswick) / P2SQT-NB (Pistes bispirituelles, queers et trans au Nouveau-Brunswick) is an educational platform and resource bank developed from Imprint Youth Association’s 25-month project, funded by Women and Gender Equality Canada ($372,920), Building Capacity for Sustainable Trans Health Care in New Brunswick. The project aims to build equitable, accessible, and culturally sensitive gender-affirming health care for Two-Spirit, queer, trans, and gender-diverse folks in NB.
Vision
Our vision is a Wolastokuk, Peskotomuhkatik, and Mi'kma'ki or what is currently called New Brunswick that is inclusive, accepting, and empowering to Two-Spirit, trans, Indigiqueer, and gender-diverse individuals. We hope to achieve this through collaborative and community-led creation and delivery of education for primary care providers offering gender-affirming health care. We want to emphasize an intersectional approach to understanding care needs that is equitable, accessible, culturally sensitive, and trauma informed. We believe healthcare for Two-Spirit, trans, Indigiqueer, and gender-diverse (2STIGD) patients should be approached collaboratively and holistically to ensure positive health outcomes.
LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Acknowledging the land we reside on is a way to honor and respect the Indigenous Peoples who have occupied and cared for the land since time immemorial. It allows us to reflect on a shared history and understand our current roles, responsibilities and relationships both to each other and the land, as settlers, or traditional occupants of this land. 2SQTP-NB/P2SQT-NB was founded in and operates across Wolastokuk, Peskotomuhkatik, and Mi'kma'ki or what is currently called New Brunswick. This land is the unceded and unsurrendered land of the Wolastoqiyik, Peskotomuhkati and Mi’kmaq peoples.With this we acknowledge with respect the Wolastoqiyik, Peskotomuhkati and Mi’kmaq Peoples whose traditional territory we work, learn, and gather on and whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
