A 6 hour training event with Marissa Carlson, CPS & Shane Scott, LCSW
8:30am – 4:00pm on January 29, 2020
(Snow Date of 2/6/20)
PRESENTATION: What are some of the unique needs and considerations that your LGBTQ participants, students, or clients may have based on historical and current healthcare disparities for these groups in the U.S.? Is your organization as welcoming and responsive to the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) population as it could be? How can we facilitate more affirming and beneficial services across the continuum of care for members of the LGBTQ community? During this training, participants will have an opportunity to: explore strategies for creating culturally affirming interactions; define “cultural humility” and explain how it differs from “cultural competency”; dispel myths around sexual orientation and gender identity; understand health care disparities that impact the LGBTQ community as a whole, as well as some that are specific to groups within that umbrella; and find similarities and differences among the experiences of older and younger LGBTQ-identified generations.
