LGBTQ+ Competency Training

Two-hour customized virtual training session, including survey creation to create the perfect training for your org.

Is your practice hetero-centering or queer normalizing?

 

This is a basic workshop specifically geared towards therapists and other healthcare providers who are not part of the LGBTQ+ community but committed allies wanting to learn and grow for their Queer Clients. 

 

The goals of the workshop include:

 

  1. History of gender and sexuality in the counseling field and the ways that it has been harmful to the queer community.

  1. Understand terminology as it relates to gender,  gender expression, and sexuality.

  2. Define the concept of gender.

  3. Differentiate between gender, sex, and sexuality.

  4. Use appropriate terminology when interacting with, speaking or writing about the transgender community.

  5. Identify biases and learn tools to lessen harm and be a better ally

  6. Gain resources to answer questions instead of asking your clients to teach you.

 

The training package will also include monthly supervision with a QueerPsych-approved supervisor and a checklist of requirements for a safe office experience for LGBTQ+ Clients.
