Since February, the Department of Gerontology has been working with area Adult Day Centers, Assisted Living Facilities, hospitals and community agencies to train healthcare professionals and aging services providers on issues related to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender aging.  With eleven trainings completed (and several more on the horizon), we are pleased to report an overwhelmingly positive reaction from training participants. 

A new training was held at the Gay Community Center of Richmond on Tuesday, August 9th from 12-4.  This training on LGBT cultural competence was expanded to include information on HIV and the older adult population thanks to a grant from The Community Foundation of Greater Richmomnd. 

Please click here  for an informational video on "A Caring Response."  A limited number of free trainings are still available.  Please contact Jay White at 828-1565 or [email protected] if your agency is interested in hosting "A Caring Response."
