The Health and Well-being Unit Wellness Taskforces (Black Wellness, Latinx Wellness, and LGBTQ+ Wellness) wish to develop a series of competency trainings on areas of diversity for the three above identities to health and wellbeing employees. These trainings would include partnerships with community stakeholders that can present relevant material to improve the skillset of providers, and administrative employees when working with UNC Charlotte students who hold Black, Latinx, or LGBTQ+ identities, as well as other intersecting identities within each of those communities.
