CFTD 735 - Working Systemically With Sexual and Gender Minority Populations

3
The goal of this course is for students to feel more confident working with sexual and gender minority populations in the therapy room. This goal will be achieved by utilizing a systemic lens while learning about these clients and creating interventions to exercise in your clinical practice. Though sexual and gender minority populations are commonly known under the LGBTQ+ umbrella, this course will provide a respectful prominence and balance that 1) the experiences of gender minorities and sexual minorities are very different experiences and 2) represent the umbrella in the significant and powerful way. The course will provide opportunities to learn through lectures, readings, role plays, and demonstrations of foundational aspects of the therapeutic process to practice the therapeutic skill set.
