About this event
Our concept of gender and sexuality are changing. Many people are choosing identities that do not adhere to the values of traditional cisgendered, heterosexual and monogamous society.
LGBTQ+ clients seek therapy for support with issues around identity, relationships, upbringing, and place in society. Sometimes the client’s identity is secondary and perhaps inconsequential to what they want to talk about, but they often want to know the therapist is affirmative in their approach to LGBTQ+ identity.
The objectives of this workshop are to:
To define and explore sex, sexuality and gender as unique and overlapping concepts.
To increase knowledge around gender identities and pronouns.
