Affirming language and correct pronoun use are foundational to LGBTQ+ affirming care—but getting everyone on the same page can take intentional training and reinforcement.
We’d love to know: What does staff training on affirming language and pronouns look like in your organization today?
In the comments, please share:
- What’s worked well (format, facilitators, length, examples used)
- Any scripts or cheat sheets you give staff for introductions, pronoun checks, and corrections
- How you handle mistakes (repairing harm, modeling accountability, reinforcing learning)
- Any challenges you’ve encountered getting buy-in from staff or leadership
🔐 Reminder: Please keep all examples de-identified and avoid sharing any PHI or patient-specific details.
