Best Practices: LGBTQ+ for Healthcare providers and Clinicians
9.95
About the Course:
In recent years, more and more patients are coming out as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and/or queer (LGBTQ) to their mental and physical health care providers. It is essential that providers are aware of best practices in working with LGBTQ people in order to support optimal patient wellness. In this one-hour podcast, we will define terminology used to describe LGBTQ individuals, identify three barriers to health for LGBTQ people, define minority stress and understand how multiple stigmatized identities affect an LGBTQ individual's overall health and well-being, explore special considerations for queer and trans youth and elders, and recommend five essential qualities of LGBTQ culturally competent practitioners. Throughout this course, you will hear the personal narrative of Shawn, who shares his experiences coming out as an LGBTQ person as well as his experiences within the social services and health care systems. Shawn’s journey illustrates important dynamics and intersections providers should consider in order to respect and serve patients like him well.
Note: This is a non-credit course.
