What does support and care look like for gender diverse people today? On the latest episode of the CHASIcast, we spoke to Stacy (he/him), a registered social worker (MSW) and UFV Alumni (BSW – 2015) who has spent much of his social work career working within healthcare, along with offering private pay counselling. For almost two decades Stacy has dedicated much of his personal and professional time to supporting trans, Two-Spirit, gender diverse, and non-binary individuals — as well as their families— in accessing information and resources around the topic of gender identity. A subject that seems to feel quite new to many, gender identity is a topic that has been around for centuries, and due to the impacts of colonization, this fundamental aspect of human diversity is intentionally left out of history books. By sharing his knowledge on the area of gender identity and the impacts of the current political and social climates, Stacy hopes to increase awareness around how education and allyship can reduce barriers and improve health outcomes when community members and service/healthcare providers get informed and make the decision to care for their community and come alongside trans, Two-Spirit, gender diverse and non-binary folks.Hosted by CHASI’s director Dr. Martha Dow and recorded in CIVL Radio’s studio at the University of the Fraser Valley, the CHASIcast is available to stream below, or on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music/Audible, and other platforms!
