Abstract | Lifeline Darling Downs & South West Queensland in conjunction with the University of Southern Queensland embarked on a program of research seeking to better the health and wellbeing of the LGBTQIA+ community based in the Toowoomba region, in Queensland Australia. Using a multi-pronged approach, this program of research sought to investigate: 1) the experiences of LGBTQIA+ people regarding aspects of their health and wellbeing; and 2) ascertain the impact LGBTQIA+ awareness raising training had on the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of caring professionals and practitioners serving LGBTQIA+ persons in the region. The LGBTQIA+ Health and Wellbeing Survey was distributed to the Toowoomba region LGBTQIA+ community between March and May 2022. The LGBTQIA+ Awareness Raising Training for Caring Professionals (a program of three workshops) was conducted with multiple training groups of caring professionals and practitioners who work within the Toowoomba region between July 2021 and June 2022. Pre and post surveys of workshop participants were administered. The results of these surveys are captured within this report. |
