How can we improve homecare services for LGBTQ older adults?

PSW nurses and LGBTQ older adults engage in arts-based research to unfold the layered complexities of relations in homecare today.

Fostering Dialogues was a 12-week arts-based action research project bringing together LGBTQ older adults and personal support workers (PSWs) from across Ontario. Through facilitated dialogue, art-making, and the co-creation of a digital mural, participants explored themes of home, care, and the future of community-based support. The project aimed to strengthen relationships within care systems and use creative processes to imagine new possibilities for connection and understanding.
