“Aging With Pride”
LGBTQ+ older adults are often not comfortable being open about who they are because they fear discrimination. They are concerned about not having enough support from family and friends as they age and how they will be treated in long-term care facilities. In this OutTalk, we will hear from voices and organizations across the country about how we can increase essential health and caregiving services, decrease social isolation and financial insecurities, and address access to aging services for LGBTQ+ older adults.
Join us for the panel discussion:
– Michele Battle-Fisher, MPH, MA, Equitas Health Institute
– John Sovec, MA, LMFT
– Bill Sive, Volunteer Education Ambassador for the SAGE National Resource Center on LGBTQ+ Aging and a member of the SAGE LGBTQ+ Aging Roundtable.
– Yael Wyte, MSW | Program & Education Manager, Alzheimer’s Association
