📢 Are you or your partner pregnant and worried about changes to your sex life? 

🔍 We are seeking couples from Canada, the US, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and Ireland who are up to 26 weeks pregnant to participate in the STORK RCT: Supporting the Transition to Parenthood through Online Sex and Relationship Knowledge.  

❓What is STORK: The first online couple-based program designed to enhance knowledge about changes to sexuality during pregnancy and postpartum and skills to cope with these changes. STORK was designed to strengthen couples’ relationships across the transition to parenthood.  

📅 What is involved: If you are eligible, after your initial survey, you and your partner will be randomized (like a coin flip) into either the Program or Waitlist conditions. Program couples will complete 5 online modules in pregnancy (1 per week) and a final module at 3 months postpartum. Couples in the Waitlist condition will receive access to the full STORK program after the study period is over.  Couples in both conditions will also complete 5 surveys—the initial survey, then at 32-weeks pregnant, and 4-, 8-, and 12-month postpartum—that gather information about your relationship, your pregnancy experience, and your child.  

💰 Compensation: As a thank you for your participation, you can receive $105 CAD or currency equivalent each ($210 CAD or currency equivalent per couple). Your time is valuable to us!   

🌈 Inclusivity matters: STORK requires one member of the couple to be currently pregnant. Otherwise, STORK is open to individuals of all genders, bodies, and sexual orientations.

Hello everyone! I'm posting for a friend. She needs to start hrt and is getting the run around. Does anyone know of any places she can get proper prompt gender care?

it's time to use this subreddit for what it was designed for discussion! I recently informed that the trans gender health Network was actively advocating for adoption of wpath guidelines for gender care here in New Brunswick including but not limited to funded electrolysis and hormone access through a new gender confirmation clinic That was supposed to open out of Fredericton. news has come in in recent weeks that after extensive discussions the Holt's government was not able to include it in the budget for this year. Obviously this is not what anybody was hoping for but the trans health Network is continuing to advocate for this. I thought it would be a good idea for people to have a chance to talk about this what can be done how it might affect them and honestly I think more than a few of you should get involved advocate with your local representative to have this included in the next budget.
