Description

Nearly 1 in 10 Washington DC residents identify as LGBTQ, a figure nearly twice as high as any state in the union. Of the LGBTQ population in DC, 43% identify as a person of color. This seminar will explore the unique demographics of DC’s LGBTQ communities of color, the colonial legacy of gender and how it impacts Black and indigenous residents. Participants will also explore the barriers to seeking and receiving services, and best practices for bridging gaps in access to care. Join social worker Randall Leonard, LCSW-C (they/them/theirs) to explore client-centered techniques to reach, connect, and serve this large and diverse group of clients in a variety of health care.
