Pearls For Practice: Recognizing & Celebrating Pride Month
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersexed (LGBTQI*) people represent a diverse range of identities and expressions of gender and sexual orientation. People who are a part of this community are diverse in terms of race, religion, ethnicity, nationality and socioeconomic class. This intersectionality — the combined and overlapping aspects of a person’s identity — brings diversity of thought, perspective, understanding and experience. Join Tony and Sara as they share their clinical and personal experience working together with this community to improve mental health and providing tips to improve clinical practice.
