Introduction

The LGBTQ+ community has long faced discrimination and marginalization in society, leading to unique challenges and needs, especially as individuals age. Despite progress in LGBTQ+ rights and visibility in recent years, older adults within this community living in rural areas continue to face significant barriers to accessing supportive services and resources. Social workers play a crucial role in addressing the needs of LGBTQ+ older adults, but little research has focused on their specific role in rural communities. This thesis aims to explore the role of social work in addressing the needs of LGBTQ+ older adults living in rural communities, shedding light on the challenges they face and identifying strategies for improving support and services.

Thesis Overview

Over the past few decades, there has been a growing recognition of the diversity of the aging population and the unique needs of marginalized groups, including LGBTQ+ individuals. Despite progress in LGBTQ+ rights and visibility in recent years, older adults in this community continue to face significant challenges, particularly those living in rural areas. Social workers have a crucial role in addressing the needs of LGBTQ+ older adults, but little research has focused on their specific role in rural communities.

This thesis aims to explore the role of social work in addressing the needs of LGBTQ+ older adults living in rural communities. The research will delve into the demographic trends of LGBTQ+ older adults in rural areas, the unique challenges they face, and the effectiveness of social work interventions in meeting their needs. By examining existing literature, conducting original research, and engaging with practitioners and policymakers, this thesis seeks to identify strategies for improving support and services for LGBTQ+ older adults in rural communities.

By shedding light on the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ older adults in rural areas and highlighting best practices for supporting them, this research aims to inform social work practice, policy development, and advocacy efforts. Ultimately, the goal of this thesis is to contribute to a more inclusive and equitable society for all aging individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
