Working Therapeutically with LGBTIQ+ communities - LGBTIQ+ Health Australia

Working Therapeutically with LGBTIQ+ communities

This training is adapted from our 2-day workshop, which was based on LGBTIQ+ Health Australia’s Working Therapeutically with LGBTI Clients: A Practice Wisdom Resource. This resource was developed by practitioners with extensive experience and deep knowledge about working with LGBTIQ+ people and communities.

Practice Wisdom is an experiential training that translates expertise to a counselling room context, focusing on being a trusted collaborator, survival and resilience, minority stress, intersectionality, and concepts of power in therapeutic work.

Learning Objectives

  • Improve your role as a therapist supporting LGBTIQ+ people
  • Understand the complexity of living as an LGBTIQ+ person in modern Australia
  • Introduce the power of naming experiences and being an effective ally
  • Learn to talk about intimacy, bodies and sex
  • Engage effectively with transgender people
  • Engage effectively with people with an intersex variation.

Target Audience

Mental health and suicide prevention professionals who engage in counselling or therapeutic work with LGBTIQ+ people.

Workshop Length: 2 hours
