2SLGBTQIA+ Youth Wellness Fair

Weekly schedule

About this program

For 2SLGBQTIA+ youth 13-18yrs and their allies. Friday, October 23rd, 12:30-8pm Creekside Community Centre Free to register Workshop details and event schedule will be updated closer to the event. Celebrate your identity, build community, and find the resources and supports you need to help you thrive! Two Spirit, lesbian, gay, bi/pansexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, agender/asexual/aromantic (2SLGBTQIA) plus all the other variations of gender and orientation - you deserve to be supported and educated and empowered! We know that it isn't easy to find health education focused on 2SLGBTQIA+ youth, and mainstream lessons at school just don't cover the details that you need! We also know that feeling welcomed and a sense of belonging is an important part of staying healthy and thriving, and that isn't always possible in non-2SLGBTQIA+ spaces. Not all of you feel safe being "out" at school or at home, so it can be really hard to make friends who share your lived experience, or to find recreation or support programs exclusively for 2SLGBTQIA+ or 2STGD (Two Spirit, Trans, or Gender Diverse) youth. Join us for an afternoon of learning through workshops and info tables, and connection through table-top games, crafting, and other activities in a space filled with other 2SLGBTQIA+ youth and supportive community members. This is a scent reduced space, so please avoid using perfumes, colognes, or scented laundry detergent if possible. Questions or need help registering? Email QYouth@vancouver.ca Concerns?
