Hosted by Integrated Care Northamptonshire this session is about embracing uniqueness.
Tim Couchman and Belle Cotton share their stories to give some insight into their experiences, and highlights the importance of building an inclusive culture all around us.
This video does contain sensitive content and we recommend having someone available to talk to afterwards as the topics can deeply affect individuals.
LGBTQ+ Awareness Training for Providers
It has been identified within North Northants that there is a severe lack of provision specifically for older LGBTQ+ people.
With many LGBTQ+ people facing the prospect of having to "go back in the closet" again when faced with accessing care and support we have built this course to support Care Providers in the county stand out from the crowd by ensuring they build inclusive, safe, spaces for the people they support.
This three hour training session is designed specifically for Care Providers and will help attendees to understand examples of health inequalities experienced by the LGBTQ+ community.
Within this session you will be guided through shared examples of what people have faced growing up as LGBTQ+, and the examples of challenges the community face in accessing care and support.
By the end of the session you will be able to identify ways to ensure inclusive practice within your organisation and how to effectively share these with other colleagues.
Dates and further information can be found on the dedicated Awareness Training page
