week 5 disussion board post You start off saying Hi Eeron to reply to his discussion board can you cite the video & my book into my discussion board I’m putting in the references of my book & the video Why are these challenges important for social workers to be aware of? What ethical standard of social work practice is related to social work practice with LGBTQ elders? The challenges are important for social workers to be aware of because many people in the LGBTQ+ community have a high chance of mental and physical health. Dr. Kristie Seelman discusses The health of the LGBTQ+ community, There are external attitudes so maybe someone in their earlier adulthood did experience discrimination when trying to, for example, the health care and someone didn’t know much about gay or lesbian bisexual identities or maybe said something that was dismissive of their needs or brushed over their concerns and that informs someone’s future behavior their likelihood of seeking services as they age” (2017). The treatment they receive as a young adult will affect how them looking for help as an older adult. As a social worker, I need to provide the best support and be aware of the challenges of LGBTQ+ safe. In the podcast, they discussed topics that I would have not thought negatively affected the LGBTQ+ community. For instance, end of life treatment, they might not have the same treatment as a heterosexual person. It was interesting to listen to and get a better idea of what challenges a client may face. The text, The NASW Policy Statement on Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Issues” states that NASW is committed to advancing policies and practices that will improve the status and well-being of all lesbian, gay, and bisexual people” (Zastrow, 2019). It should not matter a person’s sexual orientation. Every client deserves the same amount of respect. Seelman, K. ( 2017).
