Description:
During this presentation, participants will focus on three key areas. First, information that providers can use to make sure their services are welcoming to LGBTQ+ people with dementia. Second, how to support caregivers who identify as LGBTQ+—these may be partners of people with dementia, or they may be the adult children or friends of people with dementia. Finally, we will look at ways providers can help advocate for LGBTQ+ people with dementia, including working in your local communities to help reach LGBTQ+ people and ensure you can connect them to affirming services.
Learning Objectives:

Identify key practices and environmental factors that make dementia care services welcoming and affirming for LGBTQ+ individuals.
Describe strategies to effectively support caregivers who identify as LGBTQ+, including partners, adult children and friends of people living with dementia.
Demonstrate ways providers can advocate for and connect LGBTQ+ people with dementia to affirming resources and community supports.
