Expertise that adapts to every reality
Our expertise spans a broad spectrum, from work environments and senior community awareness to supporting organizations that assist caregivers and advocate against conversion practices. With tailored, thoughtful approaches, we empower every environment to foster inclusivity and respect for sexual and gender diversity.
Workplace
Whether through in-person or online training, customized coaching, inspirational conferences or the creation of customized tools, our services are designed to meet the unique needs of your work environment.
Realities of LGBTQ+ seniors
Fondation Émergence offers support to better understand the realities of LGBTQ+ seniors, and help adopt a range of best practices to contribute to their well-being.
Caregiver support
In Quebec, it’s estimated that more than 1 in 3 adults is a caregiver, which means that this reality concerns almost everyone at some point in their lives. Fondation Émergence offers support to better understand the realities of LGBTQ+ people in informal caregiving situations.
Combating conversion therapies
Since 2022, conversion therapy has been recognized as a criminal offence in Canada, and Fondation Émergence is involved in efforts to raise awareness of this crime, and the serious consequences it causes.
Grand public
For Fondation Émergence, a key objective remains: to educate, inform, and raise awareness about the realities of individuals who identify with sexual diversity, and plurality of gender identities and expressions.
