Manitou2Manido: Mental health and healing with Indigenous queer\, trans and Two Spirit young people
Indigenous queer\, trans and two-spirit young people fa ce significant social and health inequities in Canada\, which are substanti vely shaped by the history and contemporary manifestations of colonialism. To date\, there remains little research on Indigenous queer\, trans and Two Spirit young people and their mental health\, as well as research aimed at enhancing their experience of mental health services. In this presentation \, Jeffrey Ansloos will present findings from several qualitative research studies engaged with queer\, trans and two-spirit young people focused on s upporting mental health. These studies introduce vital frameworks emerging from Queer and Trans Indigenous studies as key to understanding the connect ions between experiences of colonization\, processes of identity developmen t\, and spirituality in supporting the mental health of Indigenous queer\, trans\, and two-spirit young people. The presentation will also consider wa ys of enhancing trauma-informed care and cultural safety in the context of mental health service provision with Indigenous queer\, trans and Two Spiri t young people.
