Resource Summary: Prepare for Pride Month 2024 by creating a tool to promote LGBTQIA+ health access and equity! Join us for an engaging four-part Learning Collaborative (LC) designed as a workshop to equip health centers and their partners with the knowledge, skills, and tools needed to address health disparities within the LGBTQIA+ community. Facilitated by the National Center for Medical-Legal Partnership and the National LGBTQIA+ Health Education Center, participants will first learn about the unique health needs and social barriers faced by LGBTQIA+ individuals. Subsequent sessions will focus on screening techniques, addressing health-related social needs, and collaboratively developing a new tool tailored for Pride Month. The LC concludes with a presentation and implementation plan for the developed tool, empowering participants to improve access to care for LGBTQIA+ individuals and aligning their work with objectives for enhancing health equity.
