The Trans and Gender Diverse in Community Health (TGDiCH) Training Project equips health professionals with the skills to deliver inclusive and affirmative care while addressing stigma and discrimination.

Joel Parker speaks with the program’s team leader Alex Sturman about:

• Why a program like this is needed, and common challenges TGD people face when seeking care,
• Who the program is designed for and its main topics
• Shifts in attitudes or behaviours among participants of the program, and more.
