What is the Inclusive Health trend?
Inclusive Health: Due to stigma and a fear of discrimination, the LGBTQ community is less likely to seek out and receive quality healthcare. In an attempt to create safe spaces and equal access to healthcare, many brands are offering services that specifically target the LGBTQ community. The targeted approach is encouraging to consumers who might not seek help otherwise.
