In pediatric hospice and palliative care, professionals increasingly encounter adolescents and young adults who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, inter, or queer. For these young people, a respectful and safe atmosphere is of particular importance, as experiences of discrimination or the feeling of lacking acceptance can further burden their situation.Professionals therefore face the task of providing gender-sensitive support, reflecting on their own uncertainties in dealing with queer life experiences, and thus enabling inclusive end-of-life care. The seminar will impart knowledge and skills in gender-sensitive communication and develop strategies to promote a respectful and discrimination-free attitude in support.Overview of Contents• Needs and challenges of LGBTQ+ individuals• Sensitive communication and dialogue• Designing inclusive, discrimination-free palliative care• Specifics of funeral servicesPrerequisites and Target AudienceThe seminar is aimed at professionals in pediatric hospice and palliative care.Continuing Education CreditsHamburg Medical Association: Upon requestRegistration for Professional Nurses (ID number 20091418): 8Hamburg Nurses' Professional Code: 8LecturerPaula Smilla
