Resources and Information in support of LGBT Elders & People Living with HIV during COVID-19
During this time of a national and world wide health crisis, the National Resource Center on LGBT Aging has focused our energies on compiling a list of resources which can be found at www.lgbtagingcenter.org/COVID-19. The fact sheet Prepare for COVID-19: Tips and Resources for LGBT Elders and Those Living with HIV provides tips and resources for people as they continue to plan and prepare to stay home. COVID-19 Resources from Aging Service Providers is an interactive page that will continue to be updated with resources as they become available. For the latest on programs and operations of the SAGE national offices located in New York City, see the SAGE homepage for updates. To find information on SAGE programs across the country, visit the SAGENet Affiliate page for direct links to the SAGE program in your area.If you are working with LGBT older adults and people living with HIV who are experiencing isolation and loneliness, please refer them to the SAGE National LGBT Hotline at 877-360-5428 which is open 24/7. Wishing all health and wellness during this difficult time.
The SAGE Hotline is here to listen! We don't always know how to provide the support our friends and loved ones need. If you know an LGBT elder struggling with loneliness, depression, workplace issues, anxiety, HIV/AIDS, or anything else, tell them to call the SAGE Hotline at 877-360-LGBT(5428).
