Provider Education & Training Resources

LGBTQIA+ patients may experience feelings of stress and anxiety when walking into a health center. They may wonder:

Healthcare organizations can ease patients' stress and anxiety by creating centers that provide care that is inclusive, affirming, and equitable.

Many LGBTQIA+ organizations and community partners offer in-person, virtual, recorded, and/or self-paced training opportunities to help healthcare providers and staff provide safe, welcoming, affirming, and quality care.
