Arsaniq Program

Arsaniq Program: A safe space for self-identifying 2SLGBTQIA+ Inuit

Through the services offered by the program, self-identifying 2SLGTBQIA+ Inuit are supported in regaining their culture and language. They have increased access to peer social support to reduce isolation and loneliness, improving their overall sexual health awareness and bring awareness to other safe services.

The program coordinator is here to help self-identifying 2SLGBTQIA+ Inuit and their family members access assistance in navigating resources and supports available.
