Inclusion starts with education.

This International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT), Eastern Health proudly celebrated inclusion, visibility and allyship through interactive displays across our sites.

LGBTQIA+ Liaisons Finn and Mel connected with staff and community members to share what IDAHOBIT is, why it matters, and how everyone can be an active ally. They also helped people discover local events and handed out free IDAHOBIT badges as a visible sign of support.

Education is a vital part of LGBTQIA+ allyship. By building understanding and awareness, we help ensure that all staff and community members feel safe, respected and supported, no matter who they are or what care they need
