Registration has opened for the virtual LGBTQ Aging Summit and Institute on HIV and Aging, held virtually on October 6th and 7th hosted by The Pennsylvania Department of Aging. These events encourage all interested parties to join, including LGBTQ older adults, stakeholders, aging service providers, advocates and allies.
The goal of the summit is to provide information, raise awareness, and continue to build more inclusive and age-friendly LGBTQ communities.
“The summit is offering tools for LGBTQ older adults to live happy, healthy lives and for allies and service providers to learn how to further support LGBTQ communities,” said Secretary of Aging Robert Torres.
About the event:
- Day one: includes a keynote speech by Michael Adams, CEO of SAGE (Advocacy and Services for LGBT Elders), an overview of the Pennsylvania LGBTQ Health Needs Assessment Results, a panel discussion on elder equity, and working sessions with two separate tracks concentrating on supporting LGBTQ older adults and on community issues.
- Day two: will focus on aging and living with HIV and include a panel of speakers who will discuss their experiences with growing older and living with HIV and research trends in HIV.
