Putting joy, body-positivity, and wellbeing on the dancefloor for one last summer dance at our first ever HIMBO Jock Tea Dance.

At HIM, we believe connectedness is HIV prevention. Dancing together is HIV prevention. Joy and laughter are HIV prevention. And 250 gay and q***r men and gender diverse people standing proudly together in jockstraps, fully supporting one another, is most definitely HIV prevention. We’re so proud that HIMBO created the space for all of this to happen.

Thank you to our partners and sponsors:






And a big thank you to our DJ for a job well done ❤️🎧

Are you 2S/LGBTQIA+, age 18+, someone who has used a non-legalized substance in the past month, and living in Canada? Help to inform harm reduction programming and services by sharing your experiences with substance use!

This community-based research study, led by the Q***r & Trans Health Collective in partnership with Norquest College, aims to better our understanding of substance use as well as harm reduction access and needs among 2S/LGBTQIA+ folks in Canada. This project developed out of a desire for 2S/LGBTQIA+ specific data that will allow Q***r & Trans Health Collective (and other organizations like them) to develop evidence-based programming and services.

If you are interested in participating, please complete the 5-minute pre-screening survey on https://ourhealthyeg.ca/

Êtes-vous membre de la communauté 2S/LGBTQIA+, avez-vous plus de 18 ans, avez-vous consommé des substances non légalisées dans le dernier mois, et résidez-vous au Canada ? Partagez vos expériences en matière de consommation pour aider à améliorer les programmes et services en réduction des risques!

Ce projet de recherche communautaire, mené par le Q***r & Trans Health Collective en partenariat avec Norquest College, vise à mieux comprendre les pratiques de consommation, l’accès aux services de réduction des risques et les besoins des personnes de la collectivité 2S/LGBTQIA+ canadienne. L’étude a été conçue dans le but d’obtenir des informations spécifiques à cette communauté pour pouvoir concevoir des programmes et des services fondés sur des données probantes.

Si la participation à ce projet vous intéresse, merci de répondre à ce court questionnaire préliminaire de 5 minutes pour aider à déterminer votre admissibilité - https://ourhealthyeg.ca/

“Hoy, Pare Pare — Mag-Usap Tayo” is a 6-week, closed (i.e., not drop-in), in-person mental health group/ healing circle for gay, bi, q***r, and gender diverse Filipino Men impacted by the April 26th Lapu Lapu Tragedy. Built by and for the Filipino q***r community, this group aims to address the mental health needs that prevail in the Filipino community, exacerbated by the event. The workshop will explore and address topics such as stigma in seeking mental health support, the impact of repressing seeking assistance as a result of gendering or machismo, and building internal awareness and resilience that acknowledges Filipino cultural values and norms.

The group will be held at the HIM office ( #416, 1033 Davie Street, Vancouver) every Tuesday from 6:00 PM-7:30 PM starting on August 5th for 6 weeks.
