Continuing Education Credit Hours (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved): 3 CEs Meets Criteria for Law & Ethics, Health Equity, or Cultural Competence CEs | $99.00
This continuing education workshop is designed to deepen your clinical competence, cultural humility, and ethical responsiveness when working with LGBTQIA+ populations. Together, we will explore gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, minority stress, systemic oppression, and intersectionality, while challenging ourselves to examine implicit bias and cisnormative assumptions within clinical practice.
You will gain practical tools for creating affirming therapeutic environments, navigating clinical documentation and assessment in gender-inclusive ways, addressing trauma and resilience within queer and trans communities, and practicing ethically grounded, evidence-informed care that honors client self-determination and lived experience.
Workshop Objectives:

Identify and describe key concepts related to sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, minority stress, and intersectionality, and explain their clinical relevance in psychotherapy practice.
Analyze how systemic oppression, cisnormativity, and heteronormativity impact mental health outcomes for queer, non-binary, and trans clients, and apply culturally responsive interventions to mitigate harm.
Demonstrate practical strategies for creating affirming clinical environments, including inclusive language, documentation practices, assessment considerations, and trauma-informed approaches that support client autonomy and resilience.
