SUMMARY:LGBTQ+ Cultural Competency Training - Part 1
DESCRIPTION:View Resource \n The previously recorded webinar and associated materials are available in the resource library. \nDescription: Lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender\, and questioning/queer (LGBTQ+) individuals are frequently underserved and experience significant disparities in health outcomes and accessing preventive and ongoing healthcare. Sexual and gender minorities (SGM) often experience discrimination and bias in healthcare settings and may delay or avoid medical and preventive care. \nDeveloping safe\, culturally competent healthcare environments and practices for LGBTQ+ patients is critical and closely related to individuals’ willingness to openly share their sexual orientation and/or gender identity and expression (SOGIE). Capturing SOGIE data is critical as it allows providers to have a more comprehensive picture of key factors that influence care. \nThis session will start with a brief discussion of SOGIE terminology and a compilation of what is known about medical and behavioral health needs and disparities among the LGBTQ+ community. We will highlight the critical need for creating environments that improve patients’ psychological safety and increase their willingness to share SOGIE characteristics. We will share examples of how this data could be utilized to improve care and patient satisfaction\, including capturing a patient’s preferred name and pronouns\, and ways to engage in respectful conversations that could reveal key aspects of their medical history that could otherwise go unnoticed. \nPart 2 of the two-part series will be on June 6\, 12:00-1:00 pm ET – Register Here. \nThis session aligns with the DC Board of Social Work requirements for continuing education. \nSpeakers: Nora L.
