LGBTQ2IA+ Islanders Mental Health Initiative
Our Landing Place is a collective of LGBTQ2IA+ identified counsellors offering sex-positive, affirming and competent online and phone counselling across Canada (Turtle Island). Our Landing Place works through an anti-oppressive, intersectional feminist lens.
Starting in June 2022, Our Landing Place is providing free therapy to individuals, couples & partners, and families as well as therapy groups to PEI residents ages 12+ who identify as LGBTQ2IA+. There is funding for a little over 1000 clinical hours, and is intended to be distributed to as many people as possible in order to best serve the community. Clients can self-refer using our online form, and will be able to choose the therapist they wish to work with (subject to availability).
Only "Yes" Means Yes Poster Campaign
The Only Yes Means Yes campaign challenges our consent conversations by reinforcing that our bodies are always conveying a lack of consent (always saying ‘no’) and that consent can only happen when a person actively and consciously says “yes” and gives/shows their consent.
Through three simple, relatable posters, we are showing everyone what consent can sound and look like. Prompting adults to ask the question “Did I get a yes?” and showing what that “yes” can be.
We ask workplaces to place posters in their staff rooms, and places where clients/customers gather like bathrooms, tables, bulleting boards and gathering spaces in our communities.
We have also developed a FAQ for the campaign that can be used to promote the campaign in the communities we serve.
