At diverse & resilient, we focus our efforts and programming on reducing the health disparities affecting lgbtq communities across wisconsin. We know that social determinants of health including poverty, unequal access to health care, anti-lgbtq discrimination and stigma are all linked to these disparities.We identify barriers and promote increased access to culturally-competent services for lgbtq people. We collect both qualitative and quantitative data from individuals across the state covering a number of lgbtq health disparities including intimate partner violence (both youth and adults), substance use and abuse, healthcare accessibility, condom usage and accessibility, and breast health care and service accessibility.Our work focuses on six pillars of intervention: sexual health, substance use, community and intimate partner violence, leadership development, lgbtq acceptance, and mental health. We provide evidence-based programs and services to address each of these areas, both in milwaukee and throughout the state.
