PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS
The LGBTQ community faces a multitude of health disparities and barriers to accessing care. For many LGBTQ individuals and people with LGBTQ family members, an inclusive intake process can be just as vital as culturally relevant healthcare itself.
Our training is tailored to the specific healthcare provider audience and will equip participants with practical tools for building more LGBTQ-affirming healthcare services, resulting in improved patient engagement and healthier patients. Our nationally-known trainers are experts in providing education and professional development training for providers seeking to improve their services for LGBTQ individuals and community.
