About this event

With the LGBTQ rights movement’s increased visibility, there has more awareness of the importance of non-profit programs being inclusivity of this population. At the same time, even LGBTQ and HIV-specific organizations often find themselves unsure of how to support older adults outside of programming geared towards those who are 50+ years old. This workshop will present an overview of the unique lived experiences of LGBTQ older adults and provide concrete tools for how organizational staff can support them- whether someone has been “out” for decades or came out later in life.

If you require an accommodation to participate in this training, please contact Meredith Nicholson by 12/29/2021 at MeredithN@gmhc.org.”

Drawing on our nearly four decades of experience in HIV/AIDS prevention, ACRIA Centers at GMHC provides technical assistance, and capacity building to community-based organizations (CBOs) across the United States that serve people living with HIV and those at risk of HIV.

We lead training programs for non-clinical health service providers, people living with HIV/AIDS, and community members.

GMHC hosts partner engagement meetings targeted to providers who provide services to the aging community members. The goal of these meetings is to develop a network of providers, with expertise in providing services to the aging population, that informs best practices, and enhances service delivery.
