Shannon’s workshop on cultural sensitivity was a wonderful learning experience. I left the room with an understanding of the health disparities faced by this population, from both a medical and psychosocial perspective, and increased cultural competency in serving our LGBTQA patients. Shannon is an incredibly engaging presenter. She creates a very comfortable and fun learning environment, while presenting serious material in a very accessible way. Our nurses and social workers gave the workshop rave reviews and are asking for more training with Shannon. Most importantly, they were able to immediately apply what they learned to provide excellent, culturally sensitive care to our LGBTQA patients.

I was fortunate to partake in sensitivity training. The training was an educational experience that has enlightened my practice, and has made a positive impact on my nursing practice. As a CCM the training was essential on every level. It addressed the patient on every aspect of the continuum of care, from highly specialized nursing care to, to the cultural and social factors that greatly impact these patients, making the transition from hospital to home smooth. Because of the training, patients receive quality care by highly trained clinicians, which improve patients outcomes and overall well-being –mind, body and soul.

Shannon’s presentation on gender affirmation surgery and the LGBTQ population on the whole is inspiring. Shannon’s passion and commitment to this population is evident in all she does. In an ever changing nursing field where many have lost their passion Shannon has sparked my passion to be the best nurse I can be for all patients and populations. I feel so blessed to her as a leader in our industry for sensitivity and diversity training. We need more of Shannon’s energy and commitment in our nursing profession.
