Sexual and Gender Diverse Women Curriculum
Understanding the wellbeing of lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LBTQ+) women
*Disclaimer*
This presentation uplifts sensitive, enlightening, and potentially triggering discussion topics. Certain topics are empowering and others are challenging to speak about. All feelings are welcome in this space. It may be hard to discuss these topics, it is harder to experience the challenges presented in many of the topics, and that is why we are here.
The Sexual and Gender Diverse Women Curriculum was initiated and coordinated by Commissioner Dr. Bobbie Emetu to educate, empower, and support professionals, advocates, and service providers in delivering inclusive, affirming, and culturally responsive care to women who identify across the spectrums of sexual orientation and gender identity. Grounded in intersectionality and community-informed best practices, this curriculum seeks to increase awareness, reduce disparities, and foster equity by addressing the unique experiences, needs, and systemic barriers faced by lesbian, bisexual, queer, transgender, nonbinary, and other gender-diverse women in Los Angeles County and beyond.
