Recruiting LGBT People as Volunteers for your SMP Program

LGBT Resource 1“For the most part, LGBT older adults experience the same types of abuse as non-LGBT elders. However, there are additional ways LGBT older adults can be victimized and more reasons why LGBT older adults may 'accept' this victimization.”
