Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people face health disparities that are connected to stigma, discrimination, and denial of civil and human rights. This training will explore the mental and physical effects of these phenomenon on the LGBTQ community, such as higher rates of psychiatric disorders, substance abuse, suicide, cancer, homelessness, and violence and will provide tools to help you address these issues. This training concludes with information on how to use cultural competency, cultural humility, and structural competency as tools to help communities attain positive health outcomes.
