Supporting LGBTQ+ Older Adults (On-Demand)


Description
This training provides an introduction to the specific needs and experiences of LGBT older adults. Participants will learn the definition of terms such as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and others. After this introduction to useful terminology, participants will contextualize the lives of LGBT older adults through case studies and videos of real individuals, in order to understand why some LGBT older adults may choose not to come out. Finally, participants will be connected to local and national resources, and receive some best practices to integrate into their work.
