Level of Instruction:

Introductory

Program Description:
While many clinicians consider themselves LGBTQIA+-friendly, well-intentioned clinicians can create inadvertent harm without proper training in LGBTQIA+ affirmative psychotherapy. This workshop will provide foundational knowledge for affirmative clinical work with LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual) clients. After introducing participants to language and definitions related to these communities, this workshop will cover common clinical issues faced by LGBTQIA+ clients, including minority stress, coming out, and identity development. We will explore how identity development can be difficult for clients living in an unsupportive world and how therapy can assist clients with the development of a cohesive self. We will cover common biases that may negatively impact clinical work with LGBTQIA+ clients and how to make intake processes inclusive. Additionally, we will address how to ethically market your practice within your scope of competence.
  

Learning Objectives:
1.  Discuss 
how LGBTQIA+ friendly and LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy is different
2.  Define 
common LGBTQIA+ terminology while recognizing how language is self-constructed by the client
3.  Describe 
the differences of identity layers as it relates to domains of sex, gender, and sexuality
4.  Explain 
at least 2 identity gaps that may occur within LGBTQIA+ clients and how they impact clinical work
5.  Describe 
minority stress related factors impacting mental health in LGBTQIA+ clients
6.  Identify 
at least 3 ways to make the intake process more inclusive of LGBTQIA+ clients
