Clinique Mauve: Evaluation of a training on providing health care and social services to LGBTQI+ migrants and racialized peoples

Abstract

Clinique Mauve, situated within the GMF-U Village Santé, implements the first-ever clinic designed specifically for LGBTQI+ migrant and racialized communities in Quebec. In partnership with community partner AGIR (by and for LGBTQI+ migrant organization), the clinic provides integrated health and social services, including peer navigation, while also offering community outreach for information and education related to COVID-19. To assess one aspect of the clinic, we explored the effects of a training given to healthcare professionals on how to provide health care and social services for LGBTQI+ migrants and racialized peoples. Healthcare workers who were directly or indirectly affiliated with Clinique Mauve were invited to complete the training. Once the training was completed, participants were invited to fill out a 30-minute survey related to their experiences as healthcare workers as well as the pertinence of the training to their future practice. The survey confirmed the importance of providing training to healthcare professionals on how to provide care for LGBTQI+ migrants and racialized peoples. Further results will be explored on the impact of the training with healthcare professionals and students who are not affiliated with the Clinique Mauve.

McGill University is located on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous Peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg Nations. McGill honours, recognizes, and respects these nations as the traditional stewards of the lands and waters on which peoples of the world now gather. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous Peoples from across Turtle Island. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
