Improving the Quality of Services and Supports for LGBT Older Adults: FREE Training for Aging Network Organizations

Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) older adults make up a significant, and growing, share of America’s 65+ population. The numbers of LGBT older adults are expected to double in size over the next several decades, reaching more than 3 million by 2030. This means that aging services providers will increasingly be called on to provide services and supports that meet the unique needs of LGBT older adults.

The National Resource Center on LGBT Aging is now offering to train agencies free-of-charge on LGBT cultural competency. The trainings are designed to help agencies create an inclusive, safe and welcoming environment for LGBT older adults. Developed by PHI, a leader in service provider education, in collaboration with LGBT and aging experts from across the country, this comprehensive training is offered in two 4-hour levels that can be delivered separately or together. Training is suitable for all levels of staff, including administrators, service providers and volunteers.

Topics covered in the full 8-hour training include: • Culture, needs, and concerns of LGBT older adults & Why LGBT older adults are less likely to access health and social services • Best practices, policy and practice areas for increasing inclusiveness and safety for LGBT older adults • Tools and education to better serve the LGBT older adults who currently access your services, or who are in need of your services. • Health disparities between LGBT older adults and those who are not LGBT • Exploring judgments and assumptions, myths and misinformation about HIV and AIDS Recognizing that individuals are entitled to their own diverse opinions and beliefs, and that their ac- tions and behaviors must be consistent with workplace expectations in relation to inclusion and safety for LGBT constituents
