Join us Aug. 28 at 2 p.m. CDT for the next Respite Care Providers’ Network All Member Meeting! All Member Meetings provide an opportunity to join other medical respite program providers and administrators to discuss key issues affecting medical respite care. We’ll share updates on NIMRC and the medical respite field. We’ll talk as a group about the use of language, and how language can serve as an advocacy tool or perpetuate bias and stigma within our work.

Transgender and nonbinary people experience homelessness at higher rates than their cisgender peers, and disproportionately experience unsheltered homelessness and associated adverse health outcomes. Medical respite programs play a uniquely important role in addressing this multi-faceted injustice, but they often face barriers in their pursuit of gender-affirming services for both guests and staff, including pre-existing physical infrastructure, limited workforce development, outdated policies and procedures, and thin community partnerships. Join us for four-session online Learning Collaborative kicking off in September that will help participants explore best practices for building a gender-affirming #MedicalRespite program. Learn from experts in the field and collaborate with medical respite programs across the country to identify areas of improvement and take tangible steps in your own program.
