Program Overview:
This workshop will review the APA guidelines on ethical practice with LGBTQ clients. Participants will evaluate case examples of ethical dilemmas with this population. Participants will also explore how recent social change around LGBTQ issues has impacted them personally and professionally, and implications for approaching ethical principles and standards. Additionally, we will discuss how to support patients who are questioning their sexuality and/or gender identity.
Objectives:
1) Evaluate how participants’ own attitudes and knowledge about lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) issues may be relevant to assessment and treatment of LGBTQ clients.
2) Distinguish issues of sexual orientation from those of gender identity when working with LGBTQ clients.
3) Discern the challenges related to multiple and often conflicting norms, values, and beliefs faced by LGBTQ members of racial and ethnic minority groups
4) Describe three relevant ethical principles guiding practice with the LGBTQ community.
