THE LGBTQ BEHAVIORAL HEALTH COALITION OF SOUTHERN ARIZONA and THE LGBTQ CONSORTIUM invite workshop and

presentation proposals for the 4th Annual Statewide LGBTQ Behavioral Health Conference. Let’s Get Better

T ogether: a Quality Look at Healthcare will be held May 8, 2015, at the Hilton El Conquistador in Tucson. The

theme of the 2015 Let’s Get Better Together Conference is A DIALOGUE ON THE INTERSECTIONS OF LGBTQ

IDENTITY.

The Conference Committee invites workshop proposals that address healthcare practices for adults and children

who identify in the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, or Two-Spirit

populations AND “something else” meaning LGBTQ communities that experience other identities.

Proposals should address the intersections between LGBTQ identity and other identity areas, like race, class,

ethnicity, age, ability, country of origin, language, gender expression, gender identity, and discuss how these

intersections of identity interact with health services: early intervention, clinical interventions, peer support, family

support, health promotion, the coming out process, mental illness stigma, trauma-informed care, and suicide

prevention, etc.

For example, how might seeking services for an LGBTQ-identified person of color be different for these intersecting

identities? How might LGBTQ elders experience services differently than an LGBTQ youth? How does language play

a role when serving LGBTQ communities from different countries?

NEW for 2015: the Committee will stratify presentations into Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced track.

A Beginner-level workshop focuses heavily on terminology and introducing individuals to LGBTQ concepts. The

audience for this workshop most likely have never worked with LGBTQ populations

An Intermediate-level workshop may briefly touch on terminology but spends 95% of the workshop discussing the

subject material directly. Individuals who attend these workshops have worked with LGBTQ individuals before and

are looking for a deeper level of knowledge.

An Advanced-level workshop assumes that participants have an intimate knowledge of LGBTQ definitions and

concepts, and rather, delves into best practices, innovative new practices and complex health issues that affect

LGBTQ communities.

Please keep in mind that the Let’s Get Better Together Conference is statewide, and thus, proposals should discusshow the presenters plan to be inclusive about reaching participants from all areas in Arizona.

LOGISTICS

Workshops are a hands-on experience in which the facilitators will teach the participants something they can

translate into their own day-to-day work.

Presenters can also propose a panel discussion around Integrating Best Practices. The panel must engage

participants in such a way that they can bring information back to their day-to-day work.



Each workshop will be 1.5 hours in length. Workshops should not exceed more than two presenters. Panel

discussions should not exceed four presenters.
