Cultural Competency for LGBTQ+ Patients

Providing affirming and inclusive services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and other sexual/gender diverse patients is essential in order to achieve health equity for LGBTQ+ individuals.  It is often difficult to navigate the complexity of sexual and gender identities with an ever- evolving expansion of the terminology and language used in the LGBTQ+ community.  This workshop will help you overcome barriers to treatment, for both the therapist and the patient, based on their sexual/gender identity.

Highlights

• Improve knowledge of terminology related to the LGBTQ+ patient population
• Enhance your treatment practices as they relate to LGBTQ patients
