Pride in Your Practice: Incorporating the Tenets of Social Justice and Inclusion in Work with LGBTQ Individuals and Beyond, Thursday, 3-6-25 (Live Webinar)
This essential course equips social workers and mental health professionals with the tools to create truly inclusive and affirming services. With therapist Katie Bingner, MS, LCPC as our guide, we’ll delve into recognizing diverse cultural values, beliefs, and practices within the LGBTQ+ community and beyond. Learn culturally sensitive communication and intervention strategies to ensure effective service delivery for all your clients. But inclusion goes deeper. We’ll explore how to identify and dismantle systemic barriers that create inequities for clients. You’ll gain the skills to advocate for policies and practices that promote social justice and dismantle discriminatory structures within systems and the broader community. We’ll also critically analyze the concepts of power, privilege, and oppression. Understanding how these factors impact your clients and how your own practice empowers you to be a more effective advocate and champion for positive change. Join us and build a practice that is truly inclusive and helps all clients to thrive!
