Hermann Hesse once said, “You must unlearn the habit of being someone else or nothing at all, of imitating the voices of others and mistaking the faces of others for your
own.” LGBTQIA+ individuals possess the unique experience of finding one’s self against all odds. With the widening of awareness and interest in serving LGBTQIA+ individual s, there is a need to equip healthcare and mental health providers with modernized information on how to effectively and ethically engage with these populations. After all, our code of ethics insists that we prioritize equity in care, aspire toward cultural competence, and transcend stigma through the recognition of the inherent worth and dignity of people. Additionally, there is a need to break apart the acronym and to recognize the resilience and nuanced distinctions between LGBTQIA+ populations. Lastly, there is a need to recognize that each proverbial developmental stage comes with a new task and a new crucible moment that may simultaneously involve self -awareness and the consequences of self-disclosure. In this training, the presenter aims to provide attendees with thoughtful and authentic insights about the challenges of being and serving LGBTQIA+ populations and understand the importance of utilizing a strengths and resiliency framework to provide care.
Target Audience
This activity is intended for psychologists, social workers, counselors, and other mental health professionals.
