The Centre for Newcomers services for sexually and gender diverse newcomers grew from one person to a diverse team providing settlement services, mental health services, income support, career development, refugee coaching, and professional development training. The centre learned from its LGBTQ2S+ experience to replicate services more broadly to vulnerable persons and address COVID-19 pandemic issues. Its success and uniqueness was the basis for also hosting the National LGBTQ+ Guidelines project now involving participants from all regions of Canada. This webinar gives key programmatic factors and success data that can be replicated in other organizations.
