Foundations of LGBTQIA+ Affirming Care

Clinical Skills for Ethical & Affirming Practice

Providing truly affirming care to LGBTQIA+ clients requires more than good intentions—it requires clinical skill, ethical awareness, and language that holds up in real therapeutic relationships.

Foundations of LGBTQIA+ Affirming Care is a skills-based professional training designed for mental health clinicians, social workers, counselors, and helping professionals who want to deepen their competency, confidence, and clinical effectiveness when working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples, and families.

This training moves beyond surface-level “cultural competency” to explore the relational, ethical, and clinical foundations of LGBTQIA+ affirming practice. Participants will gain practical tools for intake, assessment, documentation, and repair—while examining how bias, assumptions, and systemic harm can show up even in well-intentioned care.

What This Training Covers

  • Foundations of LGBTQIA+ affirming mental health care

  • Gender, sexuality, identity, and clinical language

  • Ethical and legal considerations in LGBTQIA+ practice

  • Inclusive intake and assessment strategies

  • Navigating rupture, repair, and clinical missteps

  • Applied case examples and real-world clinical scenarios

This training is ideal for:

  • Licensed therapists, associates, and interns

  • Social workers, counselors, and marriage & family therapists

  • Medical and behavioral health professionals

  • Clinicians seeking practical, affirming, and ethically grounded LGBTQIA+ training

Training Format

  • Live interactive training (Zoom or in-person offerings)

  • Downloadable participant materials

  • CEU certificate available upon completion requirements

Why This Training Matters

LGBTQIA+ clients continue to experience harm within mental health systems—not only from overt discrimination, but from subtle misattunements, outdated frameworks, and unexamined assumptions. This training centers ethical responsibility, relational accountability, and clinical humility, equipping professionals to provide care that is affirming, responsive, and grounded in best practices.
