CE Workshop with Michael Giordano, LICSW, CST
Online via Zoom Video

Living in an oppressive culture has lasting and traumatic impacts on one’s emotional well-being. The cultural oppression of gender diverse, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, & queer folk has its own particular contours and impacts. Therapists working with these populations would do well to understand this form of oppression, how it shows up in the life span, and how clients can heal from the cultural trauma while still living in its shadow. The course is highly participatory and focuses less on practice skills, so clinicians at any skill level, with limited understanding of LGBTQ clients, can benefit from the content. It will be particularly useful for straight and cisgender identifying therapists and social workers. Due to the interactive nature, we request that cameras are on for this workshop.
