Planning for My Care – For people who identify as Two-Spirit and LGBTQ+

Canadian Virtual Hospice

2021

Many who are 2SLGBTQ+ have experienced or witnessed discrimination and ignorance in a healthcare setting. You may have received inappropriate care or, even worse, been denied care. Some healthcare workers are not aware of the challenges the 2SLGBTQ+ communities face. This booklet will help to ensure your needs and wishes are respected. This document, focusing on care conversations for Two-Spirit and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, and all sexual and gender-diverse people, is intended to help you think about what is important to you, what concerns you might have, and who you would want to make decisions for you if a time comes when you can’t make decisions for yourself.
