Diversity & Inclusion; Supporting Sexual & Gender Minorities
“I learned so much, but one thing that stood out was how complex sexual development actually is versus the limited social constructs we are conditioned to accept.”
Description:
LGBTQ+ people are often marginalized and omitted from the dominant narrative about sexual development – and may even be afraid or unsure how to tell you about their needs. This training equips you to demonstrate an openness, respond thoughtfully, and gives you strategies to support someone to explore their own identity.
Learning Objectives:
Understand different sexual and gender identities
Recognize gender as a social construct
Realize the diversity of genitalia and genetic make-up (not just XX or XY chromosomes)
Acknowledge the diversity of relationship models and sexual self-expression
Develop skills for discussing sex and sexuality
Build ‘safer spaces’ to support individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+ and experience intellectual and/or developmental diversity
