This president's column provides the current position of the Collaborative Family Healthcare Association (CFHA) in reference to the law passed in North Carolina on March 23, 2016, limiting the civil rights of LGBTQ people. This law troubles the CFHA deeply. This is an organization that promotes collaborative patient- and family-centered care. It currently celebrates diversity and rejects discrimination in any form. After considerable thought and review of alternative actions, the Board of CFHA determined that our best course is to proceed with plans for an annual conference in Charlotte, a city that has attempted to strengthen legal protection of the rights of its LGBTQ citizens. CFHA will use this opportunity to demonstrate our support for inclusion and cultural competence by convening a robust and timely conversation about the underlying issues raised by House Bill 2 and our role as collaborative care professionals.

本主席专栏阐述了协作式家庭医疗保健协会（CFHA）对于2016年3月23日在北卡罗来纳州通过的一项限制 LGBTQ 群体民权的法律的当前立场。这项法律令 CFHA 深感困扰。该协会致力于推广以患者和家庭为中心的协作式医疗服务，目前倡导多样性，反对任何形式的歧视。经过深思熟虑并审视了其他行动方案后，CFHA 董事会决定，我们最好的做法是继续推进在夏洛特举办年度会议的计划，夏洛特市一直在努力加强对其 LGBTQ 公民权利的法律保护。CFHA 将利用这个机会，通过就《第2号众议院法案》引发的潜在问题以及我们作为协作式医疗专业人员的角色展开一场热烈且及时的讨论，来表明我们对包容和文化能力的支持。（PsycINFO 数据库记录）
