  • Q-SAATHI: Queer South Asian Adolescent Transformative Health Intervention

    Q-SAATHI: Queer South Asian Adolescent Transformative Health Intervention

    The South Asian Health Research Hub (SAHRH) team aims to form a youth collective for a Canadian Institute of Health Research (CIHR) grant proposal focused on the health and mentorship for South Asian LGBTQ2S+ youth in Canada and the US. The project aims to build a health intervention and intergenerational mentorship program creating space for resilience and leadership among youth navigating both cultural and queer identities. With the rise in mental-health challenges in our communities, we feel this work is both timely and much needed.

  • Developing the knowledge to improve access to inclusive and equitable care for trans and gender diverse survivors of gender-based violence

    Developing the knowledge to improve access to inclusive and equitable care for trans and gender diverse survivors of gender-based violence

    Our objective is to better understand trans and gender diverse youth’s needs, obstacles to access, and lived experiences with services in regard to the violence they faced with intimate partners or sexual assault. The results of this research project will help us formulate recommendations as well as create educational resources destined to service providers of different sectors (ex.: health, residence, justice, etc.).
    Participants have to identify as a trans/ gender diverse person, have survived intimate partner violence and/or sexual assault, reside in Canada, be 19 and up, have considered contacting, tried to access or have accessed services, whether they be linked or not to intimate partner violence and/or sexual assault, and need to be able to communicate in French. This research will be examined by the research ethics committee of Women’s college hospital (2023-0033-E) and of the University of Montreal (2025-7321).
