AU$59.00
Course Duration: 35 mins
Accessible for: 31 days
In this course, you’ll learn how to provide person-centred care to ageing LGBTIQASB+ individuals. We will start by understanding key terminology and inclusive language to recognise diverse identities and cultural perspectives. We will then learn the differences between sex, gender, and sexual orientation, along with common myths and challenges faced by ageing people. Next, we will explore the lived experiences of ageing LGBTIQASB+ individuals, including identity harm, social isolation, fears of discrimination, health issues, and trauma. Historical stigma, criminalisation, and exclusion have eroded trust in aged-care services, emphasising the need for compassion, cultural safety, and awareness. The course concludes with practical strategies for delivering inclusive, trauma-informed, rights-based aged care.
After this lesson, you’ll be able to:
- Define LGBTQIA+SB terminology, identities, and inclusive language to recognise different experiences and foster cultural understanding.
- Describe the differences between sex, gender, and sexual orientation while identifying and debunking common myths and misconceptions.
