LBTQIA+ People in CSD Education

Tuesday, September 22,  7:00pm - 8:30pm EST

This webinar will discuss unique stressors affecting educational and health outcomes for people in sexual orientation or gender minority groups.  The resilience factors that can mitigate their effects will be explained using models of minority stress and barriers to care. Applications to our workplaces, classrooms, and clinics will be explored using interactive methods to demonstrate recommended methods for developing practitioner competency. Participants will assess whether their clinical and educational practices are inclusive and affirming for people in sexual orientation and gender minority groups, then learn basic criteria for competency in LGBTQIA+ sensitivity and inclusion, as well as best practices for teaching this competency.
