Resources

The trans-LINK Canada Network Knowledge Hub is intended to provide easy access to a wide array of potentially useful, no-cost resources focused on information that could aid in improving the response to trans and gender diverse (TGD) sexual assault and intimate partner violence survivors. The resources available, which include those generated by the project, are intended to enhance and/or support, not replace, the provision of healthcare, social services, and/or other forms of support for TGD survivors. Audiences have been suggested for each resource, but these are not exhaustive. Although the information and resources have been reviewed, material may become out of date or not always align with individual personal perspectives.

Suggested search terms: Canada, Criminal Justice, Education Settings, Health Care Access, Help-seeking, Indigenous, Intimate Partner Violence, IPV, Older Adults, Police, Prevention, Racialized Groups, Remote, Rural, Safety Planning, Sex Work, Sexual Assault, Sexual Health, Stalking and Harassment, Trans-affirming, trans-LINK, Younger Adults
