[Website] National Resource Centre on 2SLGBTQI Aging

The National Resource Centre on 2SLGBTQI Aging (www.2slgbtqi-aging.ca) is a resource centre focused on the lived experiences of 2SLGBTQI older adults and aging issues in Canada. The site is a storehouse of information, research and resources for 2SLGBTQI older adults, their communities, and for those who provide social service and care to these groups.  

The information here is a compilation and distilling of cutting-edge research and resources, which spotlight current issues facing 2SLGBTQI older adults and their communities, thus creating opportunities for collaboration, consultation and engagement on these topics.  

At the heart of this work are interactive, character-based e-learning scenarios now in active development for the National Resource Centre on 2SLGBTQI Aging (NRCA). Each module places learners at a pivotal moment in a 2SLGBTQI person's dementia care journey — from early-onset diagnosis to end-of-life care — building the real-world skills and confidence care providers need to support 2SLGBTQI people and their chosen families with dignity. Fully bilingual and paired with a library of companion microlearning resources, the modules are on track to launch on the NRCA by the end of 2026. Watch this space.

The NRCA is a collaboration between Egale Canada and the National Institute on Ageing.
