This workshop was created to deepen the clinician’s understanding of how their own identities and cultural underpinnings affect their work consciously and unconsciously, and what are some strategic tools to use when needing to shift one’s practice to be more intentional and inclusive of those with marginalized identities. Join Dr. Thomas in developing a solid understanding of how intersectionality impacts LGBTQ+ clients and apply practical clinical tools to explore, validate and transform deep-seated inequities in clinical practice. We will combine clinical knowledge, skills and techniques and create for an anti-racist and anti-oppressionist framework to help support your practice but also your own health and well-being. The participant will walk away with an intentionally intra-inclusive framework used to help guide yourself in practice during this difficult time for all.
