Pride Month Podcast Series | |
In celebration of Pride Month, June 2024, we have partnered with the Mid-America Prevention Technology Transfer Center (PTTC) on a Pride Month Podcast Series bringing you four unique episodes of their Prevention Perk podcast on health disparities and gender affirming care. New episodes are released each Thursday in June. Prevention Perk is hosted by Steve Miller, CRPS, Project Director of the Mid-Atlantic PTTC. | |
Episode 1: Why Focus on LGBTQ+ People? | |
|
In this week’s episode (Prevention Perk Episode 98), Steve Miller and his guest, Angela Weeks, PhD, Director of this Center of Excellence on LGBTQ+ Behavioral Health Equity talk about equity language and acronyms and the goals of the Center of Excellence. They discuss the disparities affecting LGBTQ+ people in public systems including child welfare and juvenile justice. Angela also provides context and causality of discrimination for the negative health outcomes the population faces including homelessness, substance use, depression, and behavioral health. They discuss the coming-out process, social hardships faced by the community, and resilience.
