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.
