Description

Inclusion is key for any healthcare agency. However, some service providers struggle with implementing policies and procedures that support the engagement and retention of LGBT clients and their families. Providers fear asking questions about sexual health behaviors, fear insulting clients by asking their gender, and overall feel unprepared for offering resources/referrals to LGBT clients. However, these fears don’t just affect the provider or agency: They impact the quality of services that LGBT people receive and foster health disparities. This workshop will offer an overview of LGBT terminology, healthcare disparities, how agencies and providers can create supportive polices and welcoming procedures for LGBT clients.
