The JQT Seniors Initiative is offering a free online training workshop, scheduled for February 19, 2025 from 9AM-12PM PST.
The goal of this workshop is to build upon identified and potential allies within different types of healthcare services for seniors, and offer support, education, and training to any care providers who express an interest and willingness to learn more about the needs of our Jewish queer and trans community.
While this workshop is geared towards those in healthcare serving seniors, anyone is welcome to register (whether they be a caregiver for a family member or a mental healthcare professional or simply someone interested in this intersection of identities).
Workshop topics will include:
Education on the barriers impacting Jewish queer and trans seniors in healthcare
Resources such as the BC Jewish Queer & Trans Seniors Resource Guide, and JQT Affirming Care: A toolkit for mental health providers
Recommendations on making healthcare more inclusive for Jewish queer and trans seniors
Registration will take approximately 4-minutes to complete, and includes a pre-workshop survey. There will also be a post-workshop survey.
