Course overview
This online CE course is designed to improve cultural competence for healthcare providers working with LGB individuals. It provides a broad overview of the emotional and physical issues affecting this population; illustrates reasons why many LGB individuals do not seek treatment; and reviews the current research on treatment guidelines with an emphasis on mental health care.
