Sexual Orientation and Gender Diversity

This training will review terms, definitions, and concepts related to sexual orientation, sexuality, gender identity, and gender expression. Using lecture, discussion, and experiential activities, participants will gain a deeper awareness of their cultural conditioning around sexuality and gender to enhance culturally-responsible approaches to care.

This training also introduces participants to ways they can develop their skills around using inclusive and affirming language, especially when working with transgender and non-binary clients. The goal of this training is to improve participants’ ability to provide high-quality, client-centered care for people of all genders and sexualities.

At the end of this training, participants should be able to:

• Differentiate the categories of sex assigned at birth, gender identity, gender expression, and
  sexual orientation.
• Demonstrate at least two affirming ways to discuss sexual orientation and gender identity with
  clients.
• Apply the concept of client-centered care to support the importance of using respectful and
  inclusive language with your clients in discussing sexual orientation and gender identity.
