Speaker(s)
As the LGBT community continues to march toward social justice, local LGBT organizations have been challenged with the affects that these issues have had on the health of our community. Discrimination, bullying, the legal denial of basic rights, and the invisibility we have often felt from our health and social service providers has led our community down a path of health inequality. This workshop will provide attendees with a roadmap for bridging the gap found in LGBT health disparities in Missouri.
Objectives:
- Insights into the health of LGBT Missourians –including their mental health
- Diversity and inclusion – cultural competency and population health
- Supporting LGBT Military personnel
- Inclusion of LGBT welcoming policies and practices for health and social service providers.
