Programs & Services
​​Inspiring and empowering all members of the Nanaimo 2SLGBTQ+ Community!
Our Programs
Our programs help to create a safe, supportive space for 2SLGBTQ+ individuals to​​ ​explore issues, feel empowered, get advice from community members and reach their full potential.
How Can We Help
Along with your support we can change the conversation.
Mental Health
Well-being
Eliminating 2SLGBTQ+ health disparities and enhancing efforts to improve 2SLGBTQ+ health are necessary to ensure that 2SLGBTQ+ individuals can lead long, healthy lives.
HIV Health
Services
AVI Clinic's Positive Wellness Program – provides case management and community outreach for HIV and HCV positive clients.
Support
Groups
All-inclusive community-based support groups for individuals who identify at various points along the gender spectrum
(e.g. transgender, gender-queer, gender nonconforming).
Education
& Training
We recognise the importance of 2SLGBTQ+ education and awareness in everything that we do. So, we want to roll this out to anyone who wishes to take advantage of it.
Coming Out Process
Coming out happens in different ways and occurs at different ages for different people. We welcome you to ask as many questions as you want, gather as much information as you need, and build a support system.
Pride Events
Volunteers are an essential part of making the magic of Pride happen, and we will continually be looking for volunteers to fill a number of positions throughout the next Pride season.
Around the City
There’s something about arriving in a new city, wandering empty streets with no destination. Visit Nanaimo!
Like you, we’re passionate about experiencing all that Nanaimo has to offer. But now is not the time for inter-community travel; stay in your community and support your local businesses.
