Education
Through courses, workshops, and trainings, the Education arm provides comprehensive training in understanding the unique health and wellness needs of SGMs in the Southern US and Global South.
research
We believe multi-disciplinary and community-engaged and driven research provides the path to building the knowledge base of SGM health and better understanding of the health inequities and needs of SGMs.
PRACTICE
Our Practice arm strives to change the way we care for SGMs in the Southern US by offering more SGM-affirming care training to providers who can bring knowledge and care expertise to their clinical homes.
policy
With the Duke Sanford School of Public Policy, our Policy arm is well situated to advocate for and influence policy change to better protect the rights and well-being of SGMs both locally and globally.
Our mission:
The Duke SGM Wellness Program (DSGMWP) is an initiative to support sexual and gender minority wellness through four areas of excellence: education, research, best practices,
and policy
Why now?
Because the world demands it.
SGM health has been elevated to the status of urgently needing data, evidence, and best practices for researchers, health-care providers and policymakers. The DSGMWP is committed to transforming research, best practices, and policy about SGM health both in the Southern US and the Global South.
