Expand your accessibility to clients by providing a safe, and inclusive space that promotes and delivers exceptional person-centred care.
Clients with diverse genders and/or sexualities come from all cultures and walks of life. Their lived experiences and potential differences in gender and/or sexualities, as compared to the broad population, may require unique approaches in how you communicate and care plan for the future.
