Planning for Action: Social Support and Activity
PLANNING FOR ACTION LGBTI RELEVANT & INCLUSIVE ACTIVITIES & RESOURCES FOR SOCIAL SUPPORT & ACTIVITY PROGRAMS BACKGROUND In mainstream social support and activity programs for older people, services aim to provide a range of activities to meet the needs of an often diverse range of participants. In order to provide a welcoming environment for older lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex (LGBTI) people, services need to provide some activities that can demonstrate welcome and relevance. While not all older LGBTI people will be out to the service, the provision of LGBTI relevant and inclusive activities are a visible and meaningful message of welcome and inclusion to LGBTI participants. This resource includes a range of possible activities and resources that could be included in a mainstream program that will be of interest to not only many older LGBTI people but mainstream service users too. Of course, there are likely to be much more content that is relevant and inviting, so undertake some research and seek ideas from participants through consultation and feedback, and any other ways your service plans and develops your program FESTIVALS There are a range of Victorian LGBTI specific festivals including some of the regional festivals – of course everyone can attend so consider scheduling a trip or session in your program. Most have a range of activities – events, arts, film and theatre more: Event Details Midsumma Festival a range of activities and festivities including Midsumma Carnival and Pride March, and an (Jan‐Feb) entire arts
