About the event
This webinar will focus on mental health clinical information that seeks to be inclusive of LGBTQIA2S+ identities, authenticity, power, and difference in an anti-oppressive framework. This training serves to increase critical awareness of overt and covert marginalization dynamics within personal lives, society, and within professional work within each organization/s. The goal is to build supportive resources and relationships within the culture of the self that extends to professional practice within organization/s that promote an inclusive, anti-oppressive stance to benefit everyone. Objectives: - Develop an anti-oppressive lens toward LGBTQIA2S+ people in personal and professional life. - Increase understanding of one’s role in upholding and maintaining systems of power over marginalized identities within society and at the organization/s. - Build and deepen relationships within the group to hold one another accountable to LGBTQIA2S+ identities with anti-oppression growth goals and actionable steps. - Deepen one’s knowledge and resource toolkit to have an LGBTQIA2S+ inclusive mindset in the face of overt and covert oppressions that occur in a day-to-day context within the work of the organization/s - For privileged identities, develop grounding techniques in the face of cis- and hetero- shame-based fragility to help facilitate engagement in difficult conversations. - For people with marginalized identities, develop health boundary setting when experiencing micro- and macro-aggressions in life and professional practice. -------------- By joining this event hosted on Zoom, your name will be visible to other participants, the Northwest MHTTC, and our presenters.
