This training course will allow participants to come together, review and improve their practice when encountering LGBTQ people with mental health issues.
Bringing together both theoretical and real-life experiences, we will offer participants a unique perspective into understanding LGBTQ mental health and how our identities intersect with our mental health.
Participants will gain insight and skills in addressing the needs of LGBTQ people with mental health issues and gain confidence in dealing with heterosexism, homophobia, biphobia and transphobia.
We will explore good practice around making their workplaces and services more inclusive.
The A-Z of Inclusion course will aim to:
Increase understanding of LGBTQ identities and terminology
Explore LGBTQ mental health, what’s different and why?
Deepen awareness of trans issues, experiences and care pathways
Develop affirmative practice interventions and inclusion
Review information for signposting to LGBTQ specific support
What participants said about our training:
“This course helped me reflect on what I take for granted as a white heterosexual woman that is not the case for LGBTQ people”
“Thinking about how to make my service more LGBT inclusive – [it’s] really useful to have a discussion about it”
“Benign ignorance is not enough! The course helped me to justify to the team (and world) that this is important to know about”
Joining instructions will be sent to participants 24hours prior to event.
