SynopsisLGBTQ+ hate crime has been rising steadily for some time now, but reported hate crimes towards lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and non-binary people have surged since the start of the Covid19 Pandemic; and research indicates the majority of victims are not getting the help and support they need. Furthermore, more subtle forms of prejudice towards LGBTQ+ people continue to occur in schools, health and social care settings. Both overt and subtle forms of discrimination can have a significant negative effect on the health and mental health outcomes for LGBTQ+ people; therefore access to advice, information, emotional support and practical assistance are vital to ensure a person's ongoing safety and wellbeing.
With an increase in young LGBTQ+ people presenting to services, it is increasingly important for health and social care staff to increase their knowledge, confidence and skills to work effectively and sensitively with young LGBTQ+ people.This event is suitable for all CBT therapists including Wellbeing Practitioners.
In this online workshop we will:- Introduce the appropriate terms and language to work sensitively and effectively with gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans and non-binary people- Enhance the understanding of the impact of stigma and prejudice (i.e. minority stress) on people’s mental health and wellbeing; including overt/direct trans/homophobia, but also more subtle forms of prejudice, including erasure, microaggressions, internalised trans/homophobia etc.- Explore intersectionality, and how holding multiple minority identities can lead to compound discrimination and even worse health/mental health outcomes for some LGBTQ+ people- Develop self-awareness of our own assumptions, beliefs and values, and how they can impact on our ability to work effectively with LGBTQ+ young people- Develop practical skills to work effectively with this client group- Enhance understanding of best practice when working with LGBTQ+ young people
