LGBTQIA2S+ students
We strive to be inclusive and welcoming to students of all genders. All SWC staff welcome questions about gender during appointments.
Transgender & gender diverse care
We offer a range of health care including gender-affirming medical care, referrals to specialists and inclusive sexual health care.
Our intake form invites you to share your gender identity if you are comfortable. Our forms also request that you indicate your name and pronouns for us to use in our interactions with you. Sharing this information is always your choice and will remain confidential.
