| Annotation | Older lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) adults face unique issues that can impede their well-being. There is a need for education efforts that raise awareness of service providers about these issues. Because of the invisibility that many older LGBT adults experience, it is even more important that they be a key part of training and advocacy efforts to help build trust between the LGBT community and service providers, as well as to create opportunities for older LGBT adults to share skills, knowledge and perspectives on the issues they face. This study explored evaluation data of training panels provided by older LGBT adults and the views of training participants on issues faced by the older LGBT community after attending the panels. Participants were 605 students and professionals from over 34 education and communication settings. Implications of the training on participants and older LGBT trainers are discussed. (JL). |
