“At the very beginning, I knew the fewest people. I had the least resources. But I was vulnerable because I had the biggest need.”
“I could really use an LGBTQ2S competent psychologist or psychiatrist that can fix the medical trail that wreaks havoc on my life.”
“Nothing about us without us”
“Nothing about us without us,” is a critical element of support development. Whatever resources are created, they should be developed by, with, and for survivors, with survivors being empowered and influencing what and how supports are offered. Simply put, working with survivors is important because they have the most at stake.
No matter who you are—a practitioner, service provider, family member, or a survivor of conversion practices and/or change efforts—support can be hard to find. Thankfully, there are a variety of supports available, with more being created by service providers in Canada.
We’ve compiled a list of supports and resources for you to choose from, depending on your needs. We will add more as they become available.
