Description:
Physiotherapy research highlights a lack of inclusive environments for 2S/LGBTQQIA+ individuals seeking care, emphasizing the urgent need for greater inclusion within our profession. This session addresses a critical knowledge gap for physiotherapists in Canada regarding 2S/LGBTQQIA+ care, providing foundational knowledge, strategies, and resources to support the delivery of inclusive, equitable, effective, and affirming care, with the ultimate goal of enhancing healthcare experiences for 2S/LGBTQQIA+ communities.
Objectives:
1) Explore the impact of systemic oppression on 2S/LGBTQQIA+ communities and its relevance to physiotherapy
2) Introduce practical strategies for fostering 2S/LGBTQQIA+-affirming and inclusive physiotherapy environments
3) Introduce resources and continuing education opportunities to support physiotherapists self-learning to enhance their care for 2S/LGBTQQIA+ patients
