All are welcome here: Why gender-affirming care matters to Indigenous youth

Shaquita Bell, MD, FAAP (Cherokee)
River Cornelius, MD (Oneyoteaka)
Ryan Giroux, MD, FRCPC (Métis)
Sandy O'Sullivan, PhD (Wiradjuri)

Health care providers in all communities are encountering more youth who identify as LGBTQ, transgender or two-spirt. Many LGBTQ2S Indigenous youth have increased health risks due to discrimination, marginalization, racism, transphobia, and homophobia. Additionally, in nations such as the United States, there have been recent attempts to weaken protections for transgender/gender-diverse youths and efforts to criminalize treatment for these patients. Consequently, there is a need for more understanding of the Indigenous transgender youth experience. This session explores gender-affirming interventions that primary care clinicians can provide to gender-diverse Indigenous youths and their families.

After this session, participants will be able to:

  1. Recognize barriers to care for transgender youth and create a safe, trans-friendly environment of care
  2. Employ the use of western medicine teaching and traditional practices to better meet the needs of Indigenous transgender/two-spirit youth
  3. Apply strategies to address inequities and intolerance in Indigenous communities

Indigenous environmental justice and child health

Victor Carmen, MPH (Crow Creek Sioux Tribe)

Climate change threatens children globally, increasingly driving displacement and migration, and placing Indigenous communities disproportionately at-risk. All health care providers, including those who care for Indigenous communities, must be prepared to confront the health and public health impacts of climate change. The session will center the voice of Indigenous youth and explore climate change effects on land stewardship, food, and the importance of getting back to traditional ways of knowing to address these issues.

After this session, participants will be able to:

  1. Explain how climate change influences child health in the context of Indigenous communities
  2. Describe the relationship between fossil fuel extraction, the legacy of colonialism, and disproportionate child health impacts of climate change on Indigenous communities
  3. Identify individual actions, systemic solutions, and advocacy opportunities to mitigate the impact of climate change on child health
