To join the LGBTQ+ SIG, please email communications@babcp.com.
The LGBTQ+ SIG provides a dedicated space to address the experiences, discrimination, and assumptions faced by LGBTQ+ individuals, whether as patients or clinicians. In a largely cisnormative and heteronormative society, this SIG seeks to improve therapeutic skills and ensure non-judgmental therapy for the LGBTQ+ community.
Focus areas
- Deliver high-quality training for BABCP members, led by academics, clinicians, professionals, and individuals with lived experience, addressing the unique challenges LGBTQ+ individuals face in therapy.
- Improve accessibility and engagement in therapy for the LGBTQ+ community.
- Share regular updates on LGBTQ+ policy changes, government directives, professional guidelines, and new research.
- Give members a voice on key issues and changes.
- Emphasise the value of lived experience and expertise by experience.
- Work with other SIGs to prioritise intersectionality in future training events.
