Lived experience and trust · Other Considerations Turn other considerations, health, lgbtq into a more respectful, usable decision.
What you’ll be able to do Identify how lived experience and institutional trust may affect entry, burden, and follow-through. Compare the responses to this question and explain your choice: What keeps the learning useful instead of turning it into a stereotype? Document a next step for Lived experience and trust · Other Considerations: Use Other Considerations, Health, LGBTQ as a hypothesis in one live plan; verify the relevant detail with the affected person or a named community partner, then record the change, owner, review date, and report-back. Other Considerations Unvarnished, because Minnesota Nice is how a room that treats everyone the same deletes facts.
Named harms Camp years and interrupted schooling: 67.2 percent less than high school among 25+ is structure. Do not write it as laziness or as “they don’t value education.”
Rohingya genocide is a fact. The United States determined in 2022 that the 2017 atrocities were genocide. Do not platform denial in a lobby. Do not book Burmese by default for a Rohingya household. LGBTQ people exist in every stream under this umbrella. Conservative church, monastery, and mosque climates can mean silence. You use the name. You do not out someone to kin and call it culture.
Greater Minnesota isolation is real — plant town, few interpreters, English IEP, a notice that never left a St. Paul eList. Name the town. Do not file this household under Karen if they are not Karen. Do not file them under Hmong. Do not file them under Asian.
Staff who share this community may add facts. They do not get to delete a fact because it is hard to say.
Put other considerations to work What you can change You control whether other considerations is treated as a question to explore or a label placed on someone.
What to watch for Do not platform genocide denial. Follow law. Still see a family. Do not out anyone. Do not skip mandated reporting and call it humility.
Your next step Use this evidence as a hypothesis in your next plan, then confirm the relevant detail with the person or the community partner you named.
Health Compass Burmese: disability 12.9 percent; among under-65, 10.0 percent; uninsured 6.2 percent. Date it. Camp and interrupted-care histories — hepatitis, anemia, dental, immunization gaps — are patterns in refugee clinical literacy nationally. This page does not invent a Minnesota clinic rate. Date a local figure when a controlling source exists.
Access 67 percent LEP is a health gate now. Literacy of the consent form is a health gate. A Burmese-script form for a person who does not read it is still a closed door.
Gender match may be requested in maternal and intimate care. Offer it. Believe reported pain. Do not skip developmental screening. Do not mash this page with Hmong late autism identification or Somali ADDM. Those are other intelligences.
If they name a monk, a pastor, or a healer, listen. Do not make them the case plan unless they asked.
Put health to work What you can change You control whether health is treated as a question to explore or a label placed on someone.
What to watch for Literacy of the form is a health gate. Gender match in maternal care. Believe reported pain. Do not skip screening. Do not mash with Hmong late-ID or Somali ADDM.
Your next step Use this evidence as a hypothesis in your next plan, then confirm the relevant detail with the person or the community partner you named.
LGBTQ Queer and trans Burmese, Chin, Karen, and Rohingya Minnesotans exist. Conservative church, monastery, and mosque climates can mean silence or exile. Some people live a public English life and a private home-language life.
This person You use the name they use. You do not out them to an elder as cultural humility. Minnesota’s Human Rights Act still applies.
So does the duty not to treat a whole umbrella as a family-values exhibit.
Put lgbtq to work What you can change You control whether lgbtq is treated as a question to explore or a label placed on someone.
What to watch for Use the name. Do not out someone to family as culture.
Your next step Use this evidence as a hypothesis in your next plan, then confirm the relevant detail with the person or the community partner you named.
