Working Well with LGBTQ+ Communities - Business Skills Workshop
December 04, 2017
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, trans, two-spirit, intersex (LGBTQ+) people as well as people living with HIV/AIDS are two overlapping groups of people that often struggle to find services that are equipped to support their whole selves. This toolkit can be used as a valuable tool to monitor your path to inclusive service provision. This toolkit is informed by our understanding of anti-oppressive practice. We believe that we have to be intentional about interrupting the many forms of oppression that create barriers within our communities. Too many of our policies, practices, and physical environments are taken for granted and viewed through a single lens. We invite you to build on your knowledge of the communities you serve, and how these communities overlap with LGBTQ+ people and people living with HIV/AIDS. It is our hope that this tool will spark important discussions and lead action.
This is a program initially designed for individuals working in healthcare and related fields, however due to requests by local businesses we are adapting the Voices of Value program to suit the needs of for-profit local businesses. LGBTQ+ inclusivity in business is quickly becoming the norm as research on the cost-to-benefits ratio make the decision an obvious choice.
