Several projects and announcements have emerged since the beginning of the month.<\/h2>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-dots\"\/>\n<p>The month of November 2019 was very busy for the GrS Montreal team . We worked hard to present our current projects and to unveil the launch of other projects that had been in preparation for quite a few months.<\/p>\n<p>Preparing for the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.grsmontreal.com\/en\/corporate-videos-at-the-2019-cpath\/\">CPATH<\/a> (Canadian Professional Association for Transgender Health) convention in early November required countless hours of work for the development team.\u00a0Henri Labelle, the GrS Montreal social worker psychotherapist<span class=\"\">, teamed up with nurse clinician Daphney Proph\u00e8te to present surgical services to Canadian and international professionals on site.\u00a0<\/span>In pre-conference, the duo presented a detailed version of the surgical services. A shortened version of 90 minutes was presented 2 days later to other professionals.\u00a0<span class=\"\">Dr. Brassard and Dr. B\u00e9langer had the pleasure of participating in the closing plenary of the convention.\u00a0<\/span>This plenary was under the theme of the accessibility of trans care in Canada.\u00a0The opportunity was perfect to answer questions and talk about upcoming projects.<\/p>\n<p>The same team took advantage of the conference to unveil the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.grsmontreal.com\/en\/monarch-and-cpath\/\">Monarch<\/a> platform, a system entirely designed to facilitate exchanges between patients and GrS\u00a0Montreal\u00a0professionals\u00a0.\u00a0More than 3 years of development were needed to achieve a result that is both user-friendly and secure. This highly anticipated platform will be launched in the beginning of 2020. A video on Monarch has been produced, you can watch it here.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Plateforme Monarch - GrS Montr\u00e9al\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a0pLMaO3o30?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<p>The CPATH conference was also the occasion to launch the <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.grsmontreal.com\">Trans Avenue blog<\/a> that you are currently reading!\u00a0Already more than a dozen texts are there and several others are in preparation.\u00a0You will find, for example, articles on <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.grsmontreal.com\/en\/what-is-a-vaginoplasty\/\">vaginoplasty<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.grsmontreal.com\/en\/what-is-a-phalloplasty\/\">phalloplasty<\/a>, another on the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.grsmontreal.com\/en\/two-spirit-and-transsexuals-in-indigenous-communities\/\">Two-Spirit<\/a>\u00a0people\u00a0or the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.grsmontreal.com\/en\/stonewall-50-years-ago\/\">50 years anniversary of the <\/a>Stonewall\u00a0riots\u00a0.\u00a0A newsletter dedicated to readers of the blog has also been implemented.\u00a0You can register by following <a href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/6be6300240cb\/grsmontreal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of November, we also launched our own\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCn6nicNzllHZCtAMpKsoTxQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Youtube\u00a0<\/a>channel\u00a0and, for the first time, published a very touching video in which 3 of our patients shared their transition experience.\u00a0A corporate video was also unveiled. Here are the two videos.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"GrS Montr\u00e9al - R\u00e9cit d&#039;une transition\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZzOwXZPrLR4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"GrS Montr\u00e9al - Chirurgies d&#039;affirmation de genre\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EYhiDgSEzBU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<p>Also noteworthy is the participation of\u00a0GrS\u00a0Montreal in the conference of the Ordre des Infirmi\u00e8res et Infirmiers du Qu\u00e9bec &#8211; Quebec Nurses Association (OIIQ). A presentation on the development of the preoperative clinic was made by two of our nurse clinicians.\u00a0Our Director of Human Resources was there to inform the nurses present of the benefits of working for the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.grsmontreal.com\/en\/centre-metropolitain-de-chirurgie-cmc\/\">Complexe chirurgical CMC<\/a>. This kind of participation in conferences allows\u00a0GrS\u00a0Montreal to demonstrate the quality of the services offered at its establishment, but above all to share its knowledge of trans-specific health care in order to improve accessibility.\u00a0It is in this spirit that the development team presented the services of\u00a0GrS\u00a0Montreal in community organizations and with mental health professionals.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"goog-text-highlight\">Although\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"goog-text-highlight\">November 2019 has been a very busy time for\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"goog-text-highlight\">GrS\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"goog-text-highlight\">Montreal, we are already working on other projects coming up soon.\u00a0<\/span>It&#8217;s a safe bet that you will hear about\u00a0GrS\u00a0Montreal in the media in January 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Our goal is to continually improve care delivery and accessibility, and we\u00a0work hard\u00a0to remain pioneers in trans health.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-coblocks-social has-text-align-center is-style-mask has-colors\" style=\" \"><ul><li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/blog.grsmontreal.com\/en\/recap-of-november-2019\/&#038;title=Recap%20of%20November%202019\" class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-block-coblocks-social__button wp-block-coblocks-social__button--facebook     has-padding\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" style=\"border-radius: 40px;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wp-block-coblocks-social__icon\" style=\"height:30px;width: 30px;\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wp-block-coblocks-social__text\">Share on Facebook<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/li><li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Recap%20of%20November%202019&#038;url=https:\/\/blog.grsmontreal.com\/en\/recap-of-november-2019\/\" class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-block-coblocks-social__button wp-block-coblocks-social__button--twitter     has-padding\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" style=\"border-radius: 40px;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wp-block-coblocks-social__icon\" style=\"height:30px;width: 30px;\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wp-block-coblocks-social__text\">Share on Twitter<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/li><li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"mailto:?subject=Recap%20of%20November%202019&#038;body=Recap%20of%20November%202019&mdash;https:\/\/blog.grsmontreal.com\/en\/recap-of-november-2019\/\" class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-block-coblocks-social__button wp-block-coblocks-social__button--email     has-padding\" title=\"Share via Email\" style=\"border-radius: 40px;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wp-block-coblocks-social__icon\" style=\"height:30px;width: 30px;\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wp-block-coblocks-social__text\">Share via Email<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November 2019 was a very busy month for the GrS Montreal team .
