LGBTIQA+ older people are more likely to have experienced systemic discrimination and trauma in their lives, having lived during times when their very existence was regarded as ‘wrong’ in the eyes of the law, medicine and religion, and something that could and should be ‘fixed’. This led to the need to hide when accessing services, and in society more broadly.
This webinar will support your understanding of that experience by highlighting some key moments in LGBTIQA+ history in Australia and internationally. You will also leave with an understanding of the identities and experiences that fall within the LGBTIQA+ umbrella. Finally, you will be provided with some tools to increase the accessibility and inclusiveness of your services, including through your language and ways you can signal safety.
