AgeFWD brings together LGBTQ+ affirming professionals who serve older adults to strengthen inclusive-care competencies, connect with practical resources, and build a trusted referral network of professionals committed to affirming service.

The November 19th Impact Network event, 5:30-7 PM at Baldwin Fairchild in Winter Park, will focus on affirming deathcare and what professionals should understand about the LGBTQ+ experience of dying and death. Our panel will explore considerations that can affect end-of-life care, planning, advocacy, family dynamics, identity, and dignity, helping attendees better support LGBTQ+ individuals and the people important to them.
