Totally Outright

About Totally Outright

Totally Outright is a community health leadership program that equips young queer, trans and Two Spirit people with the social connections, health knowledge and promotion skills they need to be health leaders in their communities.

Launched in October 2024, the program runs for two years. Totally Outright aims to harness the cultural knowledge and resilience of queer, trans and Two Spirit community members by centering their lived experiences in the development and implementation of community-led health responses. This program focuses on issues regarding sexual and reproductive health.
