Throughout this course, we explore key topics including the historical context of LGBTQ+ rights, the impact of societal attitudes on mental health, and the importance of affirming practices in therapy. You will also learn about the intersectionality of LGBTQ+ identities with other aspects of diversity, such as race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status, providing a holistic view of your clients’ experiences.
Our goal is to create a deeper understanding and awareness of the LGBTQ+ community, empowering you to build meaningful, respectful relationships with clients and colleagues from all backgrounds. By the end of this course, you will be better equipped to challenge biases, advocate for inclusivity, and support the mental health needs of LGBTQ+ individuals.
