With a growing number of people coming out as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and a host of other gender and sexual identities, it becomes even more critical for mental
health professionals to receive the kind of training presented in this program. Participants will examine the difficulties in defining sexuality and gender diversity (SGD), the historical background including socialization, social representations of gender identity and sexual orientation, discrimination toward SGD individuals, and will receive training to increase competency in providing services to these individuals.
