Getting inclusive care at SRCHC

We know that getting support doesn’t always feel easy or straightforward – especially if you’ve been judged, misgendered, or made to feel unsafe in the past. At SRCHC, we support 2-Spirit, queer, trans, non-binary, intersex, and gender-diverse people across many of our programs. That includes inclusive reproductive care, and access to affirming health care services.

We’re still growing. But our commitment to inclusion is genuine and led by people with lived experience.
