Presented by Carol Goldbaum, PhD, LCSW

In order to provide the care that LGBTQ older adults deserve, those who work with them must become educated about their unique needs. Join us for a discussion of topics including barriers to medical care for LGBTQ older adults, changing demographics of this population and how the history of LGBTQ people in the U.S. continues to impact many older adults’ health and wellness today.
