2SLGBTQIA+ Health Programs
Our team is dedicated to improving the health and mental wellness of Yukon’s 2SLGBTQIA+ community. We partner and work with primary care providers and offer support services to improve access to safe and comfortable healthcare.
2SLGBTQIA+ Health Navigator
Our 2SLGBTQIA+ Health Navigation service for our queer and trans community - and the healthcare providers and family members who wish to support them - makes understanding and accessing healthcare simple and stress-free.
Health Clinics - more info coming soon
For 2SLGBTQIA+ folks who are in need of blood collection and lab services, Queer Yukon provides clinics at The Cache in Whitehorse.
We are partnering with health care professionals and providers to offer safe and comfortable clinical spaces for queer and trans folk to access care and services.
Gender Gear
We distribute gender gear to all communities in the Yukon. Gender gear products include various compression garments and prosthetics used to modify bodily appearances such as binders, breast forms, trans tape, gaffs, and packers.
Want to know more about what types of gear are available and which might be the right one for you? Visit the Gender Gear Room in Whitehorse or see our guidebook for further information.
