For the LGBTQ+ community, social determinants of health play a major role in health outcomes. 1.5 million people a year experience homelessness, and for members of the LGBTQ+ community, the statistics are much worse. This #pridemonth we revisit a blog from Chief Operating Officer Matt Goudreau, highlighting ways you can take action or volunteer, along with wonderful organizations to support: https://hubs.la/Q02DkgCs0
Addressing Trauma in the LGBTQ+ Community 🌈 Pride Month Reminder 🌈 Trauma can significantly impact the lives of LGBTQ+ individuals, especially those from marginalized racial and ethnic backgrounds. The journey to healing is complex but vital. This month, let’s focus on creating safe spaces where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported. Remember, it’s okay to seek help. Therapy and support groups can provide essential tools for coping and healing from trauma. #PrideMonth #TraumaAwareness #HealingJourneys #IntersectionalityMatters

Remembering #WorldAIDSDay ❤️Reflecting on all those lost and the demonisation/pain of entire minority communities from the 1980s.❤️ 1️⃣Stigma has reduced significantly in high income countries but still remains an issue in different nations globally. 2️⃣HIV prevention and treatment has came along way since the first test was developed in mid 1980s. 3️⃣For a person living with HIV: Antiretroviral therapy with effectice adherence is 99% effective at reducing the risk of the virus being passed on: U-U undetectable~untransmittable. 4️⃣Someone living with HIV who uses on ARV and is undetectable lives as long as someone without HIV. 5️⃣For a person not living with HIV: PrEP or pre-exposure prophylaxis (an ARV medication) with effective adherence reduces the risk of them contracting HIV by up to 99%. 📢These are great advances but more work is needed in global equality to reduce HIV stigma that continues to affect minority communities.📢
Today’s #WorldAIDSDay, a day to spread awareness and to remember the lives of those we have lost. Over the course of the day, we’ll be sharing the work of incredible HIV-focussed organisations across our channels. ❤️ Sending our love to the LGBTQ+ community, as we continue to fight stigma.

It will also highlight strategies to collect data and meet the unique needs of clients. Register today! #ThePartnershipNH
A year ago we started our series called "Connecting Conversations." Our goal is to bring together great minds from different sectors, all trying to tackle the same problem. So, in this first one, we brought together leaders from the nonprofit, academic, and start-up sectors who are experts in Culturally Competent Care for LGBTQ+ Communities. A highly engaging, unscripted, real conversation was had with Kellan E. Baker, Gaurang Choksi, and David (Hyunmin) Yu. Follow the link for full video and great clips!
