Mental Health Care for LGBT Older Adults in Long-Term Care Settings: Competency, Training, and Barriers for Mental Health Providers.
CONCLUSIONS: Mental health providers in LTC facilities would benefit from more training in LGBT-specific mental health problems and evidence-based treatments, and efforts to destigmatize LGBT identities in these settings might improve access to mental health care.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: LGBT-specific training and EBTs are needed. Facilities need to address stigma with residents and providers.
