“Welcoming” and “belonging” are important concepts in all resettlement contexts, but they may emerge as particularly significant for LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning) newcomers and those who serve them. Cultivating inclusive environments for newcomers in the LGBTQ+ community can serve as an essential catalyst for fostering not just successful community integration, but genuine empowerment and interconnectedness. Designed for direct service providers, managers, and others in refugee resettlement, this webinar will explore and address the multifaceted challenges and opportunities associated with fostering inclusivity for LGBTQ+ individuals in newcomer services contexts. Speakers will discuss vital considerations for both policy and practice aimed at safeguarding and supporting clients, staff, volunteers, and other stakeholders in the LGBTQ+ community.
