Abstract Summary
We propose conducting community research on sexual and gender wellness through the seven life stages using the dimensions of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health in an inter-generational, gender-inclusive gathering in Paqtnkek Mi'kmaw Nation. This research will incorporate ceremony, expert perspectives, and diverse community feedback from youth and Elders of all genders. This project will be guided by the Paqtnkek Health Centre and the Antigonish Women's Resource Centre and Sexual Assault Services Association. From the research conducted at the gathering, a community-based strategy on gender and wellness will be produced and videos to showcase the lessons and wisdom of community members will be created.
