BECOMING VISIBLE:

 CHILD ABUSE, SEXUAL ORIENTATION AND GENDER IDENTITY



In this workshop, we will explore the interconnections and interactions between identity development and reactions to trauma. With an emphasis on learning LGBT- inclusive concepts and terminology, participants will also explore best practices and develop skills to provide sensitive and culturally relevant services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning (LGBTQQ) youth.  Significant legal, policy and social issues will also be discussed.
