Advocating for Those Who Feel Alienated from Health Care Spaces: Meet @ayeshasharma Apr 30, 2020 | By Rosemary, Volunteer Mentor (@rosemarya)Comment receiving replies
Hello all, I wanted to share the article I was referring to above in the chat.
https://iweighcommunity.com/ways-to-get-help-without-leaving-your-house/
I wrote this between last year and this year after interviewing health professionals and conducting research on health technology–specifically as it serves stigmatized individuals often alienated from healthcare spaces. Made a brief reference to my work on Mayo Connect at the end 🙂

@ayeshasharma I am so glad that you are part of Connect. You provide a new outlook for many of us who have not shared your experiences. Thank you!

@ayeshasharma It really bothers me that we still have such a long way to go in acceptance of all people. Being Caucasian and heterosexual I have not had personal experience with any of this but having friends that are part of the LGBTQ community has made me aware ever since I was in my early 20s, which was 50 years ago!
Your article is a great gift to the stigmatized people who are dealing with these identifications. Knowing you are not alone is always helpful I think.
