This event is free and open to the public. We are holding afternoon and evening sessions, where a coalition of Michigan LGBT and eldercare service providers will help you:
- learn about what programs exist to help you;
- share your personal experiences and issues you feel are ignored by mainstream eldercare;
- give us your opinion on how LGBT services can better help you.
Between sessions, there will be a presentation on LGBT rights from the ACLU of Michigan and dinner sponsored by Medilodge of Southfield.
Program:
2:00pm-4:00pm Afternoon session - includes panel and small group discussion led by professional facilitator
4:30pm-5:30pm Dinner Presentation by ACLU of Michigan "Know Your Rights"
6:00pm-8:00pm Evening session (repeat of afternoon)
Both sessions are identical and offered to provide flexibility and accessibility for partipants.
