Affirmative Care for the LGBTQIA+ Community
June 21, 2022 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Presented by:
Dr. Tiffany Lange, PsyD, LCP, MS, MA, Clinical Psychologist
An affirmative approach to care is one in which organizations, programs, and providers recognize, validate, and support the lived experiences of the individuals served.
This session will introduce some of the key knowledge, skills, and beliefs about sexual and gender identity and expression, discuss minority stressors and internalized stigma, and review why an understanding of each is essential in providing affirmative and culturally knowledgeable services and care to clients from LGBTQIA+ communities.
Participants in this training will:
- Review the principles of affirmative care and how to apply across cultures and systems
- Learn how to confront biases that interfere with successful interactions with clients from LGBTQIA+ communities
- Gain tools to integrate increased understanding of individuals’ history, cultural context, and lived experiences into the provision of services which are culturally inclusive, affirming, empowerment-based, and trauma-informed
Fees:
General Public – $37.50
Teachers from Jewish Day Schools/JCS Retirees – $30.00
