The aim is to create a culturally-appropriate resource site that will help improve parental connectedness and communication during the coming out process.
2) A study of the feasability, acceptability, and impact on the HIV care cascade of a peer navigator program for street-involved 2SLGBTQ+ youth in Vancouver.
