Visibility Matters: LGBTQI+ Cultural Responsiveness Training Part 2

As LGBTQI+ people age and need supportive services to meet their aging goals, many of them question whether it is safe to share withtheir providers that they are LGBTQI+ due to stigma they have witnessed and experienced over their lifetimes.

The Visibility Matters training helps care providers gain the tools needed to create a safe place for LGBTQI+ people to be their authentic selves so that providers can meet their unique needs.The training provides information about how to be more aware,sensitive, and responsive to LGBTQI+ older people and their families.

Visibility Matters is an excellent training for long term care facilities,medical professionals, senior centers, in-home care providers, case managers, or anyone serving older people in Pima County.

Visibility Matters is designed to be a two-hour training, with some flexibility to accommodate the needs of specific audiences.
