We would love to hear your story.

Coming Out is a process that many members of the LGBTQIA+ community go through on their journey of self-acceptance.  For some, there is a date in which we came out, for others, there is no date and no definitive moment.

LGBTQIA+ visibility and representation is so important in supporting and affirming our community and in challenging discrimination. The journey to self-acceptance can be a difficult one, especially when it's paved with others' reactions.

For many LGBTQIA+ individuals, coming out as our true gender or sharing our sexuality comes with some apprehension over how those close to us might react.

Sharing our experiences helps us learn from each other. While each individual’s experience is different and unique, we are all community. We would be extremely grateful to our colleagues for sharing their stories, and by doing do, we hope to create a greater sense of community and inclusiveness at IVC Evidensia.

It only takes a few minutes to share your answers, and all questions are optional.
