The Bi Pan Library is proud to partner with the Bisexual Resource Center (BRC) for the 10th annual Bi+ Health Month this March. We’ll be sharing resources all month to help you connected with m-spec (bi, pan, fluid, etc.) authors who are disabled, chronically ill, and neurodivergent and other ways to learn about health topics important to our community such as HIV/AIDS, pregnancy, intimate partner violence, and mental illness.
On Saturday, March 18th, Bi Pan Library founder Bren Frederick will be taking over the BRC’s Instagram to give a tour of the library and chat about how her disability, neurodivergence, and chronic illness have guided the creation of the Bi Pan Library (and share a few book recommendations, because of course). Be sure to follow the BRC to catch the takeover and learn about even more #BiHealthMonth resources!

FURTHER RESOURCES
bisexual resource center
The Bi+ Health Month website houses an extensive library of resources for the m-spec community and our allies — articles, brochures, research studies, practical advice, and even ways to get involved with local community activism.
bi survivors network
A group of bisexual survivors facilitating peer-led, online support groups for survivors of sexual and/or domestic violence/abuse. BSN raises awareness for bisexual, pansexual, and other non-monosexual (bi+) survivors, working to ensure the community’s voices are heard and needs are met.
posi-pan’s pansexual health resource
Data about pansexual people is frequently blended into bisexual data, disregarded, or ignored entirely, making it difficult for pan people to access accurate and specific information about their community’s issues. Posi-pan’s health data resource gathers information about the health, well-being, and victimization of the pan community.
