Discuss the appropriate use of pronouns and terminology that should be used in respectful communication with members of the LGBTQ+ community.
State the specific and unique mental health and health-related risks and disparities that are experienced by the LGBTQ+ community and describe how an understanding of these risks and disparities shapes the provision of competent perinatal care.
Identify how to create a mental health and health care environment in which members of the LGBTQ+ community can feel validated, welcome and safe to discuss health issues, as they relate to perinatal services.
