Providing inclusive and affirming healthcare to 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals can feel challenging for visiting nurses and other healthcare providers, given the relatively limited coverage of this topic in formal curricula. This webinar offers a space to learn about inclusive perinatal care for 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals in Ontario. We'll use practical examples to support a better understanding of best practices in caring for pregnant and postpartum 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals, their partners and families. The session covers inclusive language, providing trauma-informed care to 2SLGBTQIA+ people, and findings from relevant research with 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions to two experts and gain access to a list of supportive resources for their practice. Intended audience: Public health nurses and family home visitors working in Healthy Babies Healthy Children or Nurse-Family Partnership; community-based professionals working with pregnant individuals or families with infants or young children. By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
