This Toolkit was created for: American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth who identify as transgender or Two-Spirit, their relatives, and the health providers who care for them. The Toolkit is broken up into sections for ease of access, but the information is available for all. The resources included are meant to be affirming, inclusive, and sustainable.

This Toolkit hopes to:

Improve resources and access to healthcare for Native transgender and Two-Spirit youth facing barriers accessing healthcare

Increase healthcare provider awareness of issues faced by transgender/Two-Spirit youth in Native communities

Provide youth, families, and providers tools to serve as advocates for their strong and resilient communities

Reduce disparities in access, create gender-affirming clinic environments, and support positive mental health outcomes

Increase tribal clinic capacity by creating long-term pathways to care for transgender and Two-Spirit individuals within the tribal health setting
