What happens when home isn’t safe—and the shelter system isn’t either? Dr. Alex Abramovich is a Senior Scientist at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), Associate Professor at the University of Toronto, and Canada Research Chair in 2SLGBTQ+ Youth Homelessness and Mental Health. For over 15 years, he’s been a leading voice fighting to end the systemic failures that leave queer and trans youth with nowhere to turn.

He also talks about empowering youth through film and storytelling, and what it really takes to make change.
