Community Chat: Providing Equitable Care for LGBTQ+ Youth in Rural Communities, September 26

September 30, 2024

Community Chat: Providing Equitable Care for LGBTQ+ Youth in Rural Communities, September 26

Children and young people across the U.S. are experiencing a mental health crisis. Improving access to equitable and high-quality care is critical for our young people, particularly in rural communities due to long-standing health care shortages.

This is especially true for those with marginalized identities, such as BIPOC and LGBTQ+ youth in rural areas, who experience disproportionate challenges in accessing equitable, person-centered care.

The Rural Interest Group Community Chat: Providing Equitable Care for LGBTQ+ Youth in Rural Communities is more than a webinar, this is a discussion-based session for sharing ideas, experiences, innovations, and questions with health care leaders who are implementing cutting-edge change to further reach and support young people in their communities.

Please Note: Because of the sensitive and often personal nature of this topic, this session will not be recorded, and the speakers will prioritize creating a space for open and safe conversations regarding personal experiences and ideas.

Cost: Free

When: Thursday, September 26, 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. ET
