Let’s Talk About Inclusive Healthcare For The LGBTQIA+ Community
Join PsychU to celebrate and raise awareness of LGBT History Month in October! In the US, 4.5-12% adults identify as LGBTQ1,2 and only 16% of US academic healthcare practices reported having comprehensive LGBT training3. Healthcare providers will increasingly encounter LGBTQIA+ individuals and creating an inclusive environment is essential for providing quality healthcare. In this infographic, there is information on inclusive & affirming language and recommendations for inclusive forms and policies.
