Lindsey Lawrence Morrison from Keck Pride is hosting a September Series of LGBTQ Health Zoom sessions – every Thursday from 12 – 1 pm. In these sessions, Lindsey will dive deeper into LGBTQ identity, health disparities and the systems that perpetuate those disparities, and strategies for active advocacy – culminating in an interactive session to come up with ideas on how we can translate our inclusive policies into actions.
