Working More Effectively with the LGBTQ+ Community

Green Clock Hours: 2.00

Over the past decade, LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, nonbinary, and other) issues have become more of a focus in the behavioral health field and in the world (Huang, et. al., 2010). The ethical codes of all professional healthcare organizations specifically state that no one should be discriminated against or denied treatment due to sexual orientation or gender identity. While a great many behavioral health professionals now adhere to this guideline, despite best intentions, there is more to being an affirmative practitioner than being accepting and aware.

In this course, you will learn how to practice more affirmatively by addressing the behavioral health needs of LGBTQ+ populations and how to employ relevant, evidence-based interventions effectively. This course will primarily focus on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer adults but the knowledge you gain can be applied to additional gender identities, sexual orientations and age groups.
