Supporting 2SLGBTQI+ Seniors with Dementia/Mild Cognitive Impairment: The Canadian Context

Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the importance of language and be provided with resources for accessing a 2SLGBTQI+ common language glossary. We will then focus on seniors and the context of historical discrimination experienced by many 2SLGBTQI+ seniors. We will examine disparities related to 2SLGBTQI+ seniors mental health and physical health, based on literature and based on the experiences of these elders. We will then apply what we’ve learned to 2SLGBTQI+ elders who are experiencing dementia/mild cognitive impairment, with the goal of leaving with multiple clinical pearls.
