This webinar from the National Center for Equitable Care for Elders (NCECE), the National Center for Health in Public Housing (NCHPH), and the National LGBTQIA+ Health Education Center will focus on integrated solutions for supporting older adults living with HIV to safely age in their community of choice.
Presented by Dr. Whitney Irie and Dr. Kevin Ard in collaboration with the National LGBTQIA+ Health Education Center, this webinar will train health centers on best and promising practices for prevention and treatment of HIV among cisgender women, non-binary people assigned female at birth, and transgender men.
Presented by the National LGBTQIA+ Health Education Center, this webinar will focus on both disparities and resilience among LGBTQIA+ youth, including practical strategies for reaching and engaging LGBTQIA+ youth into primary care and behavioral health care. In addition to learning of health risks faced by LGBTQIA+ youth, webinar participants will become more familiar with LGBTQIA+ youth culture, and will learn of ways to forge trusting relationships and create welcoming environments.
This publication is designed to support health centers in using telehealth programs to increase access to patient care and services for LGBTQIA+ people. Telehealth, in which technology is used to provide health care services at a distance, has become an essential approach to providing patient care and services for underserved communities, including LGBTQIA+ people. Telehealth eliminates geographic restrictions, which increases access to providers who can provide culturally affirming and knowledgeable health care for LGBTQIA+ people. Although telehealth has the potential to improve health outcomes for LGBTQIA+ patients, considerations need to be made to ensure equitable access. The purpose of this publication is to educate health center staff on how to reduce barriers to LGBTQIA+ patient care by improving telehealth programming.
Custody disputes involving transgender and gender diverse (TGD) children and adolescents require careful consideration due to the unique medical, social, and mental health needs of TGD youth. This is especially the case when one parent is less accepting of the child’s gender exploration/identity than the co-parent. Due to a lack of familiarity within family courts regarding TGD children, harmful misinformation has resulted in the more gender-affirming parent losing physical and/or legal decision-making custody of their TGD child to the non-affirming parent.
