  • What should I know about the trans community?
  • Why is inclusion important?

  • What are the different options for social and medical gender affirmation?
  • What challenges do the trans community face in healthcare settings?
  • How can I be a trans ally?

Pride Training courses are developed and delivered by LGBTQ+ community members and subject matter experts, and include activities, media, open discussions, and access to a range of useful resources.
