Webinar: Understanding the role of resilience in gender and sexual minority communities

Submitted by Endalkachew.abebaw on Thu, 08/20/2020 - 11:04

While it is well documented that Gender and Sexual Minority individuals have faced lifelong stigma, discrimination, and other experiences that may lead to adverse psycho-social outcomes, an emerging program of research suggests resilience can be a buffer against the impact of these stressors. This webinar will highlight how public health approaches to health and well-being have historically been rooted in a deficits based model and the recent shift in focus to examine strengths-based perspectives in GSM communities, especially in older HIV+ gay men.

Join this free, 60-minute webinar where we will discuss:

  • using a resiliency based approach to health disparities

  • strengths of the gender and sexual minority community in coping with stigma and discrimination
