Book synopsis

This handbook addressees the myriad of issues facing older LGBT individuals from a multidisciplinary perspective and aims to guide service providers who lack the appropriate information to better understand and serve the aging LGBT community. As they age, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals face an array of unique barriers and inequities that can affect mental and emotional well-being, overall health, safety and financial security. Compounding this is the fact that LGBT elders are often invisible, or worse, discriminated against in aging service demographics and program planning (French, 2013). The lack of data and research across the spectrum of aging policy and service delivery can exacerbate the unique challenges facing LGBT elders. The first of its kind, Handbook of LGBT Elders provides a comprehensive overview of trends, implications and future directions for policy, practice and research in this area.
