Training Aging Services to Provide LGBT Care

WEBINAR: Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) older adults do not access aging services at the same rate as their heterosexual and non-transgender peers. When they do, they often do not disclose their sexual orientation and/or transgender status to their providers, which leads to incomplete care and health disparities. SAGE (Services & Advocacy for GLBT Elders), through its National Resource Center on LGBT Aging, developed a national training effort to enhance providers’ cultural competence in working with LGBT populations and to disseminate information to consumers. This webinar focuses on SAGE’s innovative plans to leverage available resources to scale up the training and consumer education program to have broad, culture-changing impact.

Presenters: Michael Adams (SAGE) and Hilary Meyer (SAGE)

Sponsors: The John A. Hartford Foundation and the California Wellness Foundation
