Class Information
This interactive and engaging 4-hour workshop will discuss how the sexual health disparities faced by LGBTQ communities are influenced by social determinants of health. By understanding this correlation, this lens can be used to provide more culturally responsive services that reflect the diverse health care needs of LGBTQ communities. This workshop will also include a discussion about how explicit and implicit bias may perpetuate stigma in healthcare settings, strategies to provide more responsive care, a skills practice with LGBTQ terminology, and an opportunity to hear what an equitable health care experience looks like for LGBTQ communities. Finally, we will discuss engagement strategies for transgender patients and young men who have sex with men of color who bear the burden of adverse sexual health outcomes. This workshop will end with an opportunity for participants to reflect on the content and plan for immediate action steps to take back to their agencies. Class Contact: Dustin Wagner
