In early 2020, the Hudson Valley LGBTQ+ Community Center (the Center) received a very public call-out from community members, including a list of demands for action, in reaction to past harms experienced by some in the community. We’ve listened to our community are are taking action.
The Center provides training on LGBTQ+ Culturally Responsive Care for educators, health and human service providers, schools, and government workers. This work is funded in part by the New York State Department of Health and the Dyson Foundation, and is available to your organization at no cost.
