LGBTQIA2S+ Affirming Therapy and Supervision
Using trauma-informed, affirming practices with LGBTQIA2S+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, Two-Spirit, plus) clients and supervisees is essential to their wellbeing. With this discussion, we aim to highlight the complexities of sexuality and mental health. Further, the panelists will discuss ways mental health providers can go beyond awareness and sensitivity to give responsive care.
You will learn to:
Explore best practices for providing affirming, culturally responsive services to LGBTQIA2S+ communities.
Summarize considerations for intersectionality in understanding the needs of LGBTQIA2S+ clients and supervisees.
Discover the best avenues for challenging implicit biases related to clinical work with LGBTQIA2S+ folks.
This course talks about language and putting intention behind your words in your therapy practice, your supervision practice, and your daily life - because I think we can all agree that this topic deserves space outside of the therapy room as well.
From clinical considerations in the intake process to rewording your process questions, this course covers culturally responsive care as it pertains to LGBTQIA2S+ communities. Our panelists start (this is definitely one of many conversations for Motivo Learning) to look at each letter in this community and how therapists can be of support.
Language is such an important part of this type of work as it helps shape meaning for the client and supervisee. This course is for all therapists and all humans.
