LGBTQ+ Sensitivity Training for Professionals Working in Long Term Care (CA BRN) – 1.0 CE/Contact Hour

This course provides an overview of concepts related to cultural competency and LGBTQ sensitivity in a long term care setting.  This course was updated in 2018 to meet the California requirements for professionals working in assisted living and skilled nursing environments.  By the end of this course learners will be able to:

1. Describe the importance of expanding knowledge and cultural competence related to sexual and gender minority people.
2. Summarize relevant laws and regulatory requirements affecting sexual and gender minority older adults in long-term care settings.
3. Analyze the unique challenges and disparities experienced by sexual and gender minority older adults.
4. Identify opportunities to enhance quality of life and develop inclusive outreach and marketing strategies for sexual and gender minority persons.
5. Identify evidence-informed solutions—through staff awareness and training—to foster a safe, inclusive, and welcoming long-term care environment.
