Community care is the primary mission of QueerCare - we wish to build a culture where communities care for their own without needing to reach out to institutional care, covering everything from ensuring nutrition and social support through advanced mental health response and first aid, minimising strain on primary care, and improving outcomes for the queer community.
To this end, our carers receive holistic training and support in everything from community repsonse through advanced mental health interventions to nutrition and public health provision.
We don’t belive in specialisation in primary care, and our carers are just as qualified as advocates as they are as community responders.
