At QueerCME, we’re excited to spotlight The Paths (Re)Membered Project, a transformative initiative centering the strengths, histories, and resilience of Two Spirit and LGBTQ+ communities. Through community engagement, advocacy, and innovative training, The Paths (Re)Membered Project is actively reshaping healthcare to better reflect the voices, wisdom, and lived experiences of Indigenous and LGBTQ+ people.

What is The Paths (Re)Membered Project?

This initiative works to advance health equity for 2SLGBTQ+ communities by honoring both the ancestors who paved the way and the wisdom of elders who guide us today. Through a unique blend of research and advocacy, the project celebrates and uplifts Two Spirit and Indigiqueer voices, recognizing the vital role of cultural memory and lived experiences in the pursuit of health equity.

A Resource for Providers and Community Members

For providers, The Paths (Re)Membered Project offers an invaluable resource, especially for those working to better understand the unique healthcare needs of Two Spirit and Indigiqueer patients. Their offerings include:

• ECHO Program Trainings: Continuing education opportunities focused on culturally relevant, inclusive care.
• Case Consultations: Individualized support for prescribers seeking guidance on best practices in 2SLGBTQ+ health.
• Community Engagement: Creating spaces where Indigenous and LGBTQ+ community members can connect, share stories, and celebrate resilience.

Toward a Liberated 2SLGBTQ+ Future

At its core, The Paths (Re)Membered Project envisions a liberated future for 2SLGBTQ+ people, built on the creativity of youth and the guidance of elders. By supporting community members and offering essential resources for healthcare providers, this initiative strengthens the bridge between traditional wisdom and progressive healthcare, empowering both prescribers and Indigiqueer communities alike.

For those seeking to deepen their understanding of Two Spirit and LGBTQ+ health, we highly recommend exploring The Paths (Re)Membered Project as a profound resource in the journey toward inclusive, equitable healthcare.
