Quadrangle LGBTQ Community Centre Inc.

Purpose

Through this 16-month project, Quadrangle NL will develop community-informed initiatives to inform service providers and decision makers of key healthcare issues facing 2SLGBTQIA+ communities in Newfoundland and Labrador. Particularly, the project will research barriers and potential solutions to accessible and affirming healthcare, will increase awareness of prevention treatments for HIV in the province, and will suggest potential changes to tools, policies and/or education materials so that healthcare providers can better support 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals in Newfoundland and Labrador. This will be achieved through research activities such as conducting surveys and interviews and through workshop and resource development. By the end of the project, Quadrangle NL will have increased knowledge about healthcare issues affecting 2SLGBTQIA+ communities in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador and will be able to inform changes to policies and practices, and positively impact norms, attitudes and behaviours towards a more equality-advanced healthcare.
