Medical and psychological institutions have historically contributed to the oppression and pathology of queer and minority individuals. Cascade Health is committed to advancing racial equity, diversity and equality in today’s society. This practice works to depathologize queer identities and aid in the continued movement for trans, queer, and racial justice.

This is a commitment this practice takes seriously and realizes that it is a lifelong commitment.



Cascade Health honours and acknowledges that Canada exists on stolen land and broken covenants.
