June 18, 2021
2:30 PM PST - 3:15 PM
Presented by:Kristina Padilla

Kristina will review traditional treatment approaches with LGBTQIA2+ populations, how providers need to be aware of harmful treatment practices and the impact of homophobia and racism on LGBTQIA2+ clients. Also, the coming out process and how it is a process, and not to “out” anyone that is not ready to be out. She will discuss why it is so important for providers to work from a trauma-informed approach; to view the client as a whole being with the understanding their behaviors might be a means to survival from the harms, violence, abuse, stigma and prejudice clients have experienced. Lastly, how it is helpful for providers to gain insight on how stigma can impact LGBTQIA2+ individuals.
