How do we incorporate gender & sexual identity into our Common Agenda?
Some partners in the Child & Youth Health Network are favoring adding it in as a 9th dimension in our Wellness Wheel. Here is a draft version of that wheel with the 8 current domains.
Others want to see gender & sexual identity added as a ring around the 8 dimensions, indicating that they cut across all the other domains.
Here are a few resources that various people have suggested that we consider:
- The World Health Organization on Gender and Human Rights;
- Sexuality and U: Sexuality and Child Development;
- Preece & Associates Pyschological Consulting: Repository of useful gender-related Information;
- BC Children’s Hospital: Transgender Resources for youth and their families;
- United Church of Christ: Our Whole Lives Curriculum.
