2SLGBTQI+ Tool Kit: Leading & Learning with Pride

Seniors Services and Long-Term Care (SSLTC) at the City of Toronto recognizes and celebrates the diversity and lived experiences of 2SLGBTQI+ seniors. With close collaboration from community members, service providers, advocates, and allies, SSLTC has released a revitalized 2SLGBTQI+ Tool Kit – Leading & Learning with Pride.

This resource includes useful examples, insights, guidance, and resources to support providers throughout the care continuum to provide respectful, inclusive, and affirming care to 2SLGBTQI+ seniors.

The Ontario CLRI is honoured to have been invited to participate in the Expert Review Panel and to have our feedback integrated into the Tool Kit.

The 519, the City of Toronto Senior Services and Long Term Care and Senior Pride Network Toronto also collaborated to develop educational workshops based on the Leading and Learning with Pride Tool kit linked above, utilizing this Case Studies and Facilitation Guide. Learning through case studies provides an opportunity for teams to consider the experiences and perspectives of 2SLGBTQI+ seniors.

From the Facilitation Guide: “Collaborating as a team to problem-solve these case studies will deepen understanding of discrimination faced by 2SLGBTQI+ seniors, stimulate curiosity, build confidence, and reveal a variety of approaches, perspectives, and innovative solutions. It will allow your team to practice and refine problem-solving and decision-making skills in a low-stakes environment, so when facing a real situation of discrimination in your home, they will be better prepared to response quickly, sensitively and effectively.”
