Caring for the LGBT patient

In the care situation, the article key take away information is the importance of understanding how to work with LGBT patients and relatives in therapy. I especially found the information enlightening on the importance of developing adequate knowledge of the LGBT community, understanding how to approach sensitive topics with such patients and the need to exhibit warmness to them in care. I also found it important that the article cited the need for additional training on counselling to enable the healthcare providers provide LGBT sensitive care ensuring their confidentiality is protected and well managed. Another take away information from the article was that there is need for the health care providers to work closely with the LGBT communities to strengthen the relationships between the LGBT communities and LGBT patients as community support was one of the key factors to achieving positive patient outcomes.
