Rainbow Roundtable = discussion with LGBTQ+ communities to improve health & wellbeing
Everyone knows about health screening tests, for such issues as breast, prostate and cervical cancer. But are you getting the information you need that is right for you? And what difficulties do you have attending screening sessions?
This Rainbow Roundtable is for Lesbian, Gay, Bi/Pan, Trans/ Non-Binary and Queer people, to explore this issue and ‘design’ ideal health screening services.
We want to learn more about how your experiences affect your health and wellbeing, and hear your ideas about what would make a difference for you.
We believe that people know what they need and what does and doesn't work for them. We want to hear about both good and bad experiences, and work with people to develop solutions to help improve their lives. These could be anything from raising awareness and how people can help themselves, to developing new services or improving existing ones.
Refreshments are available and we can support you with travel costs if you wish.
- Places are limited, so please only book if you are confident you will attend.
- This event is for LGBTQ+ people only.
- It is not suitable for professionals representing an organisation.
Any questions? Call 0121 643 0821 and leave a message for Maria, or email MariaHughes@blgbt.org.
Birmingham LGBT is working with Birmingham Public Health to find out more about the things which affect the health and wellbeing of LGBTQ+ people and what can be done to make improvements.
The event will be facilitated by Maria Hughes and based around discussion questions which are already set, but these are just a guide. We can talk or express about whatever the group thinks is interesting and important. Participants are free to tell the group about examples from your own lives, but don't have to - we share whatever we feel comfortable with.
Participants will be sent the questions in advance, to help you prepare for the experience, but you don't have to have answers ready.
