Better Living For Seniors Pinellas

LGBTQ+ Elder Initiative Consortium

Date: October 10, 2025

Time: 8:30 AM – 10:30 AM

Location: The Grove at Countryside, 2425 McMullen Booth Rd, Clearwater, FL 33759

Join BLS Pinellas for a dynamic morning dedicated to strengthening support, resources, and advocacy for LGBTQ+ older adults. This year’s consortium, hosted by the LGBTQ+ Elder Initiative Committee, brings together a diverse panel of thought leaders, healthcare professionals, researchers, and community advocates to share insights, lived experiences, and innovative approaches for creating truly inclusive spaces for aging with dignity.

Our panelists will share research insights, lived experiences, and practical strategies for creating more inclusive and supportive environments for LGBTQ+ elders. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore community resources, expand their networks, and take away actionable tools to implement in their own work. We believe real change starts with informed conversations and intentional collaboration—and this event is designed to spark both.
