Everyone seeks love and belonging on the way to connection–we are wired for it. Gender diverse elders are seeking services in record numbers and the number of individuals identifying as transgender/non-binary are increasing within the aging community. There are unique challenges, obstacles, and victories that our gender expansive elders face. New constructs of gender, gender identity, and gender inclusive language that center empathetic and respectful interactions create a move toward inclusive and welcoming environments. A dawning awareness of practical steps toward navigating and implementing more inclusive and equitable changes within your organization, facility, agency, and/or services offered can create the kind of authentic connection we all seek as we ultimately find we are all more alike than we are different.
Webinar Goal: The goal of this webinar is to demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and awareness sparking more welcoming, inclusive, and equitable environments for gender diverse elders.
Learning Objectives:
Upon conclusion of this event, participants will be able to:
- identify two broad challenges, highlighted in the presentation, that Gender Diverse elders often experience from living a life of historical and societal systemic trauma.
- respectfully identify a person’s personal pronouns.
- identify the three main elements of "what to say" or "how to mess up" after unintentionally misgendering another person.
- name at least "one thing" they can do differently to be a better ally or accomplice and/or to make their organization, facility, or immediate environment more inclusive and welcoming for Gender Diverse elders.
