The LGBTQ+ movement continues to be deeply foundational to the end-of-life movement and they have been intertwined from the beginning. Decades of crossover can be seen from the shifts in hospice and comfort care we saw develop from the start of the AIDS epidemic, and continued acceptance we see in medical aid in dying. However, there is still more work that needs to be done to keep the community safe and supported.
Osha Towers (they/them), LGBTQ+ Engagement Director at Compassion and Choices, will join us to walk through our new LGBTQ+ Advance Care Planning Toolkit. Developed in partnership with SAGE, the nation's largest LGBTQ+ elders advocacy organization. This toolkit addresses specific end-of-life considerations unique to the community.
This training will provide background and tools for those within and supporting the LGBTQ+ community. We invite all of those that are passionate about achieving health equity!
