Workshop Description

This dynamic training will focus on terminology, definitions, and statistics that help those serving this population become empowered and aware of the vast experience of LGBTQ+ people, their identities, and barriers.

• Understand and Overview of US LGBTQIA+ Intersectional History
• Provide most widely accepted terminology, definitions and common acronyms
• To provide accessible, practical, and meaningful tools, interventions, and skills for service agencies and direct service staff to relate to and support LGBTQ+ youth/young adults more fully.
