Osoby LGBTQIA+ wciąż doświadczają nierówności zdrowotnych – od barier w dostępie do opieki, po skutki stresu mniejszościowego i dyskryminacji. Przekłada się to na ich dobrostan, częstsze występowanie chorób przewlekłych oraz – co szczególnie niepokojące – mniejszą gotowość do korzystania z usług ochrony zdrowia.

Ten warsztat wyposaży personel medyczny w konkretne kompetencje i narzędzia, które pomogą tworzyć środowisko opieki:
- inkluzywne,
- afirmujące,
- kulturowo kompetentne.

Cele szkoleniowe to m.in.:
• Zrozumienie wpływu stresu mniejszościowego na zdrowie osób LGBTQIA+
• Identyfikacja społecznych determinantów zdrowia leżących u podstaw nierówności
• Rozpoznawanie i przeciwdziałanie mikroagresjom w praktyce klinicznej
• Wdrażanie dobrych praktyk tworzenia bezpiecznej i przyjaznej przestrzeniWarsztaty odbywają się w języku angielskim.
