LGBTQ+ 101NAMES & PRONOUNS
▶Transgender and gender non-conforming people
often change their name to affirm their gender
identity
▶This name can be different than what is on
their insurance or identity documents;
“dead-name”
▶It is important to use names and pronouns that
If you don’t know someone’s pronouns, it is

LGBTQ+ 101INTERSECTIONALITY
“The study of the interactions of multiple systems of oppression or discrimination.”
▶ For example:
▶ Being both LGBTQ+ and undocumented
▶ Being both LGBTQ+ and a person of color
▶ Being both LGBTQ+ and low-income
▶ Being both LGBTQ+ and a veteran
CHAMPIONING CARE FOR THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY
INTERSECTIONALITYPERCEIVE AND FEEL FRAMEWORK
▶A welcoming environment feels safe. It is a space where
people can find themselves represented and reflected,
and where they understand that all people are treated
with respect and dignity.
▶ This happens when services consider and are equitable
and accessible to all members of the LGBTQ+ community,
including clients, staff, and volunteers.

HEALTH DISPARITIESCOVID
According to the Trevor Project, some consequences to physical distancing for LGBTQ+ youth are:
▶ Decrease in positive social interaction
▶ An unintended consequence of physical distancing is potential loss of the social connections that
protect LGBTQ+ youth from suicidality.
▶ Increase in negative social interactions
▶ For LGBTQ+ youth, physical distancing may have additional
unintended negative consequences related to being confined
to an environment that may be unsupportive or abusive
