When your LGBTQIA+ client is looking for relief from trauma stemming from familial rejection…is there a specific modality that will help them make more progress, quicker?
When a client comes to you hoping to explore their sexual identity…how should you facilitate a supportive and empowering environment suited for their exploration?
When your LGBTQIA+ clients encounter discrimination when trying to access adequate healthcare…are there resources or referrals you could provide?
The foundation of true affirmative care is understanding the basics of human connection and your LGBTQIA+ clients just want to feel seen, heard, and understood – maybe for the first time in their lives.
