OVERVIEW:
Helping professionals are trusted with the important role of caring for people during what can be vulnerable moments, and it is imperative that they practice with competence and humility. In this honest conversation, M. Greg Green, author and advocate, will provide an overview of the LGBTQ+ community, their diverse health needs, and the bias that they can experience in the systems in which we practice. This course will cover communication tips for utilizing affirming and respectful language, including an understanding of terms related to gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation that people use to self-identify, and promoting sensitivity and acceptance in our practice spaces. Participants will gain a better understanding of the LGBTQ+ community and the unique challenges and barriers that prevent LGBTQ+ individuals from receiving quality and competent care.
OBJECTIVES:
By attending this training, you will be able to:
1. Recognize the bias experienced by the LGBTQ+ community in the social and health systems.
2. Demonstrate respectful language for discussing sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.
3. Identify two ways you can advocate for the LGBTQ+ community in your practice environment to promote the highest level of care.
