Does your agency provide a compassionate, culturally sensitive, and inclusive care environment for your LGBTQ+ patients and/or family members?

If not, do you know how to improve in this area? Do you understand the unique challenges, including those posed by different age groups? This program will address many of the obstacles you may encounter from various sources and provide best practices to improve care.

AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
  • Define the acronyms and terminology in use today
  • Identify four obstacles/situations that may present unique challenges for members of the “LGB” community plus another four for members of the “TQ+” community
  • Differentiate between dynamics related to seniors versus younger LGBTQ+
  • Gauge your organization’s commitment and motivation to address potential obstacles and increase inclusivity
  • Assess individual and team obstacles to providing higher levels of care to these populations
  • Differentiate three methods to significantly address organizational, team, and individual obstacles
  • Define three best practices to improve care

WEBINAR DETAILS

Fear of discrimination and negative past experiences are just a few of the potential obstacles faced when caring for people from the LGBTQ+ communities. Additional impediments may be systemic within the organization, including non-inclusive information, resources, and processes; unprepared staff or volunteers; and team members who may not be the best fit. This webinar will focus on resolving potential obstacles in the hospice and palliative care environments when the goal is LGBTQ+ inclusivity and providing high-level care.

THIS WEBINAR WILL BENEFIT THE FOLLOWING AGENCIES:

  • Hospice
