Overview

The laws governing gender-diverse youth in Alberta have rapidly changed. It can be difficult for youth and their supporters to navigate today’s complex and shifting legal environment. PolicyWise for Children & Families and the Queer & Trans Health Collective are meeting this need with our Advocacy in Action project, developing resources and opportunities for gender-diverse youth.
