LGBTQ Inclusive Care Pride in Health + Wellbeing

While many sexuality and gender diverse people lead healthy and happy lives, research shows LGBTQ+ people experience significant health disparities when compared to the general population.

These health issues are not due to being LGBTQ+ but are directly related to experiences of stigma, prejudice, discrimination and abuse.

This education session will support healthcare practices to improve their LGBTQ inclusion through discussion of the following key issues:

• Why do we need to be LGBTQ inclusive in our care?

• What are the barriers to accessing care faced by the Gender and Sexuality Diverse (LGBTQ) community?

• What are the health disparities that result from these barriers to care?

• What can you do to make your care more inclusive?
