LGBT Health Project

Description

The LGBT Health Project aims to support and improve the health outcomes of the LGBT Community in Waterford and South Tipperary.

The role of the LGBT Health Worker is:

• To improve the health outcomes of LGBT people in the community
• To coordinate and deliver the SECH LGBT Awareness Training Model in order to enhance knowledge and understanding of the needs of LGBT Service Users.

What we do:

• We provide a safe space for LGBT adults in the community to come and meet peers and support each other through developmental group work. There is a support group that takes place every Monday evening from 6pm to 8pm
• We offer training to HSE staff, service providers and any organisation looking to build their awareness around LGBT. The training aims to enhance the development of a welcoming and supportive environment to both employees and service users who identify as LGBT. There is no fee to take part in the training
• We offer one to one support
