Program Summary:
The LGBT+ population is one that is marginalized and typically underrepresented. Having any baseline of knowledge is helpful to begin to understand how to best help, treat, and care for these clients. Especially in our current time and climate, it is crucial to have the background and information to show our clients that we are a safe space and are able to discuss all the things they need to in order to get the most out of their therapeutic experience. My training aims to meet the needs of a baseline knowledge of the LGBT+ community as well as to start the conversation about what is important to know as a clinician and what skills can be effective.
Learning Objectives:
· Participants will review a brief history of significant milestones in the LGBTQ+ community.
· Participants will discuss gender identities and intersectionality
· Participants will discuss the topic of privilege as well as homophobia/transphobia and discrimination
· Participants will discuss key topics related to the LGBTQ+ community (I.e. coming out, inclusive language).
· Participants will discuss strategies for becoming an inclusive Ally
Audience & Skill Level:
· Introductory: The target audience of my training are working professionals who their client/patient population includes those who identify within the LGBTQIAP+ community, or who have people within their support system who do identify within the community.
