The LGBTQ+ rare reality
Rare diseases can affect anyone.
At Beacon, we know that accessing healthcare as an LGBTQ+ person can be challenging.
This can lead to a longer diagnosis process and poorer health outcomes for LGBTQ+ people.
Attending healthcare appointments can be intimidating for anyone, but if you are LGBTQ+ then this can be more daunting.
It’s important to be able to help your LGBTQ+ rare community self-advocate for themselves to ensure that they receive the proper healthcare they need and deserve.
Enroll in this course to learn the LGBTQ+ rare reality as of June 2024 so your group can help advocate for better inclusivity, awareness and healthcare practices for LGBTQ+ people living with a rare disease.
