Whether you realize it or not, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) older adults are your clients or residents. Learn the unique issues facing these populations and how they affect LGBT older adults’ willingness to seek out services. This session will outline LGBT aging, describe the diversity of sexual orientations and gender identities, present findings from a recent needs assessment and identify actions you can take to make your practice more LGBT–culturally competent.

Participants in this web seminar will be able to:

  • Explain biological sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression;
  • Describe historical experiences that shape LGBT older adults’ lives;
  • Describe unique barriers faced by LGBT older adults; and,
  • Identify opportunities to support welcoming services for LGBT older adults.
