Learn about the experiences of LGBTIQ+ people in New Mexico and how you can better work with members of this population,.About this Event
This training will present data about LGBTQIA+ people in New Mexico, including the size and diversity of this community. We will share information about the health disparities experienced by the community and their causes. We will explore how our understanding of sex and gender have evolved and the new language that has developed to discuss LGBTQIA+ identities. We will also share research on steps that can be taken to increase access and quality of care for LGBTQIA+ people in behavioral health
LGBTQIA+ people are a sizable minority in New Mexico and experience behavioral health concerns at rates higher than the general population as well as multiple barriers to accessing care and services. Historical factors lead this population to have low levels of trust in behavioral health providers which can further complicate efforts to provide care and services.
