LGBTQ+ Speaker Series: LGBTQ+ Mental Wellness

The LGBTQ+ Health Equity Speaker Series continued recently with the next session–Finding the Way Forward: LGBTQ+ Mental Wellness. As a founding member and producer of this CVS Health and Accenture speaker series, I also had a lead role in developing this third session of the program. This session discusses the current mental wellness crisis for the LGBTQ+ community, the stressors and impacts felt across the community, and easy ways anyone can help in their own communities. You can view the discussion on YouTube. You can also view the toolkit that I led building with the team. To learn more about the overall series and first session on the legacy of health care difficulties the LGBTQ+ community has faced and subsequent COVID-19 pandemic and vaccine impacts, check out my first announcement. To learn about the second session on the transgender health care patient experience, check out my second announcement.

I continue to be extremely proud of this important work which shows health care professionals and all citizens easy things they can do to improve health care and health outcomes for LGBTQ+ individuals. Please watch and do your part to help the LGBTQ+ community.

Thank you!
