As a Queer-centric and Trans-Positive LGBTQ+ community and resource centre, we are dedicated to transforming ideas into action
and action into progress, healing and growth.
Research and data suggests that transgender and non-binary people experience significantly higher rates of discrimination, marginalization, and disparities in healthcare, mental wellness services and other areas compared to other members of the LGBTQ+ community. This is due to a complex interplay of factors, including societal stigma, legal barriers, and lack of culturally competent services.
The Queer Life Collective is committed to changing that.
We’re developing a cutting-edge digital resource centre with information, live and recorded educational content and experts from within our communities.
Our presence on social media platforms ensures that you can always connect with others in our community. Make new connections, share ideas, support and encourage one another.
We’re building the most innovative and reliable programs to support your mental health, vitality and healing.
The Queer Life Collective is an open, welcoming and affirming network, designed to be a safe space for all members of the LGBTQ+ community.
We’re mindful, however, that representation, access to services and engagement within the LGBTQ+ community doesn’t always include an awareness of the unmet needs unique to the Queer, Trans and Non-binary people who can feel marginalized and excluded, even in our own LGBTQ+ spaces.
It’s not always intentional. Resources are often limited, with recent studies showing that less than 5% of all funding that is earmarked for LGBTQ+ organizations is used to address the needs of the Queer, Trans and Non-binary communities they serve.
The Queer Life Collective was created and remains under the direction of Queer, Trans and Non-binary individuals and can be the bridge many organizations have been looking for.
We provide results-focused coaching and personal transformation mentoring for creating a purpose-driven and more resilient life. Trauma-informed and provided by a genderqueer advocate, holistic counselor and mental wellness coach — Dr. Gianmichael Salvato — who has worked in our community exclusively for 39 years.
