From the Roots Up: Community-Based Strategies for Health and Wellness

The purpose of ESSOGIE program is to advance social, political and economic equality with respect to sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression. Advancement towards a greater understanding of the intersection of sex and gender with other identity factors that include race, national and ethnic origin, Indigenous origin or identity, age, sexual orientation, socio-economic condition, place of residence and disability are encouraged under the Program. This 18-month project will strengthen the capacity of Edmonton Men’s Health Collective Society to advance LGBTQ2 equality. This will be achieved by building managerial capacity through strategic plan, internal program review, and community and stakeholder consultations; increasing access to evidence, data and knowledge with literature review, research, and service mapping. At the end of the project, Edmonton Men’s Health Collective Society will have a stronger organizational capacity with health promotion, advocacy strategies; and will have increased knowledge to advance equality with respect to sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression to support the LGBTQ2 movement.
