Description
Gender- and sexual orientation-based violence at the hands of colonizers has been a lived experience for the Indigenous people of the North American continent since the invasion of 1492. Despite centuries of genocide and forced assimilation, a community of people now commonly referred to as Two-Spirit have survived.
This recording will examine the role of community in Two-Spirit survival narratives and offer interventions for working with Two-Spirit people and community in mental health, medical, substance abuse, social work, and school-based settings. You’ll learn new concepts, such as sexual sovereignty and erotic survivance as well as how to use culture as treatment and prevention.
