It was after the loss of his daughter Brianna to suicide\, December 3\, 2020 that Matt decided that things need to change. Matt wanted to channel his grief into something positive for the community so others would not have to suffer the way Brianna suffered and so other parents would not have to suffer the grief of having to bury a child. In January 2021\, Matt started putting together an awareness and fundraising event called Building Bridges for Brianna. After several weeks Matt decided we need to build the bridge between people that need help and people that can provide help. That was when Matt realized that this cannot be an event\, it needs to be a movement and expanded the organization to reach as many people as he can. \nOther speakers represent various agencies and resources within the Erie community and serve to build a foundation for support\, intervention and suicide prevention in our own community. \nProgram Schedule: \nRegistration/Check-In : 8:00am-8:45amWelcome\, Introductions & Keynote: 8:45am -10:15amBREAK: 10:15am-10:30am \nBreakout Session 1 (will be selected on day of conference):11:00am – 12:00 pm \nOPTION 1A : “988 and Collaboration with Law Enforcement in Erie County” :Stacey Buettner & Tracy Carlini \nOPTION 1B : “Harm Reduction”: Cortney Elliot\, Sarah Suhan\, and Shannon Brown \nOPTION 1C: “Heroes Need Help Too”: Robin Archer and Pensiri Nuk Kongkaw-Oden \nLUNCH BUFFET (INC.

SUMMARY:The Landscape of LGBTQ+ Affirming Healthcare in Erie: A Panel Discussion

It is important for healthcare and social service providers to understand the unique needs of LGBTQ+ individuals. It is equally important for facilities to provide a welcoming\, inclusive\, and competent environment. \nOur panel will discuss the current healthcare landscape for LGBTQ+ individuals in our area and what resources are available. \n\nLearning Objectives for CME/SW/LPC/LMFT Credits: \n\nIdentify three core principles of LGBTQ+ affirming healthcare\nReview at least five health risks potentially faced by individuals in the LGBTQ+ community\nName at least three barriers to care that may impact LGBTQ+ individuals\nDescribe the current healthcare landscape for LGBTQ+ individuals in our region\, including in primary care\, mental health\, and substance use settings.\nSet an actionable goal to improve LGBTQ+ health for our region.\n\n\n\n\n\nACCREDITATION \nIn support of improving patient care the University of Pittsburgh is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME)\, the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPA)\, and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) to provide continuing education for the health care team.  \n Physician (CME) \nThe University of Pittsburgh designates this live activity for a maximum of 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™.
