The clinic also provides health education, training for service providers, and public advocacy for reproductive rights and women-centred approaches to care. It describes its approach as inclusive, anti-oppressive and client-centred, welcomes clients of all genders, and works in partnership with First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities.
