Introduction to Module 3 – Health and Well-being of LGBTQ+ Individuals

This training module aims to deepen the understanding of the specific health and well-being issues encountered by LGBTQ+ individuals. We will address the challenges they face in terms of mental health, addictions, sexual health, medical follow-up, and aging.

We will explore the concept of minority stress that impacts their overall health and the resilience factors that help them cope. Special attention will be given to good practices for support, in a compassionate and empowering approach.

The objective is to enable coaches to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to best support LGBTQ+ individuals in their health and well-being journey, taking into account their specificities. This will particularly involve knowing how to guide towards suitable resources and working in partnership with preventive actors.

This module will thus provide concrete keys to promote the overall health of LGBTQ+ individuals in an affirmative and inclusive approach.
