*** Apologies for cross-posting ***
Dear all,
I apologize for being off-topic here. The association to which I belong, SAT-Pink (Transgender Support & Information Service), is taking part to a call for bids in order to be able to implement a training project targeted at health facilities. The second part of the project selection is tied to a public vote process:: only the first 15 projects of each area will pass to the final stages.
Sat-Pink Padova e Verona is an Italian nonprofit organization that for more than 5 years worked to ensure sensitive, respectful and professional services to Transgender people.
One of the major obstacles which transgender people encounter during their gender transition is the accessibility to health care service, in particular because Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) should be taken for life.
Sat-Pink Padova e Verona’s project is aimed at proposing training courses targeted to health care practitioners of endocrinological, gynecological, urological wards, of emergency room and of general practices so that transgender people can find professional and competent services and non-judgmental health care staff.
Concretely, our purposes are:
- Trainings for health care practitioners (nurses, physicians, social health operators, reception staff)
- Production of information materials to be handed to health services and general practitioners
- Production of information materials to be handed to transgender people, concerning HRT and facilities where they may rely upon
- Public meeting for transgender people, their families and their friends, where medical professionals illustrate the risks related to DIY dosages of hormones
- Awareness-raising initiatives addressed to operators of services that, despite not being part of the health service, are crucial for the psychophysical well-being (gyms, nutritionists, beauty salons, swimming pools).
Now we have the chance to obtain some founds, but we need your help!
