Feels Like We've Been Here Before

PALS (Planning Ahead for LGBT Seniors) presents Feels Like We've Been Here Before: Older LGBTQ Persons and the COVID-19 Epidemic

Using data from a national Canadian study, this presentation focuses on the responses of LGBTQ older adults to the COVID-19 pandemic. From mask use and social distancing, to physical and mental health, to preparations for end of life, it is clear that LGBTQ persons took the pandemic more seriously than cisgender, heterosexual persons of comparable age.

Discussion follows on the implications of the findings for this season's PALS theme, "Care and Friendship." Join in...be a PAL.The virtual room will open by 9:45 AM so we can start on time.

Speaker: Brian DeVries, Professor Emeritus of Gerontology, San Francisco State University
