Providing Inclusive Services and Care for LGBT People has been developed to help all members of the health care team provide an inclusive and affirmative environment for all clients, with a focus on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people.
Creating an inclusive environment in which health care conversations are more comfortable for the patient is an important goal for all health care staff. All patients deserve access to high quality health care; in health care organizations, both front-line staff and clinicians must be prepared to serve people of all races, ethnicities, religions, ages, and backgrounds.
Here’s What You’ll Find Inside:
- Part 1 provides background information on LGBT people and their health needs.
- Part 2 provides tips and strategies to improve communication and create a more welcoming environment.
- Part 3 includes helpful resources, a glossary of terms, and additional information about how to care for LGBT people.
