How LGBTQIA+ Affirming Care Can Help When It Comes To Nutrition & Fitness:
People in the LGBTQIA+ community often face discrimination when it comes to accessing medical and therapeutic care that affirms our identity. As a queer individual myself, I recognize the significant impact that this can have on a client’s mental and physical health. I will validate the lived experiences of a client who is also LGBTQIA+ and will provide a safe space for them to talk about their sexual orientation and/or gender identity when it comes to their care.
Many LGBTQIA+ individuals do not have a safe and supportive network of people who support them.
Affirming care will allow for a judgement and stigma free zone which can improve the well-being of those who identify as LGBTQIA+.
Safe and affirming healthcare provides better clinical outcomes for those in the LGBTQIA+ community.
Is patient-centered care and treats individuals holistically, allowing their care to align with who they identify as.
Can allow for a stronger and more impactful coach-client relationship.
