LGBTQ+ Trauma & Abuse Masterclass: Affirming Interventions for Identity, Healing & Recovery

Course overview

LGBTQ+ individuals face distinct and often intersecting risks when it comes to trauma, abuse, and help-seeking. Family rejection, intimate partner violence, and systemic discrimination don't just cause harm they compound it. And when survivors try to get help, they often encounter providers who don't understand their experiences, or worse, cause additional harm. This 6-hour training gives you the clinical tools to provide affirming, trauma-informed care for LGBTQ+ survivors. Learn to recognize the unique forms of trauma this population faces, understand how minority stress and identity-based harm shape trauma responses, and implement culturally competent interventions that support identity integration, relational healing, and long-term recovery. You'll also learn to identify barriers that prevent LGBTQ+ clients from seeking help and how to break them down in your practice. Designed for licensed mental health professionals who want to provide competent, affirming care for LGBTQ+ trauma survivors without causing additional harm.
