Upcoming Workshop.
Healing Trauma in LGBTQ Communities
Beck Gee-Cohen, MA, LADC and
Monica O'Connell, MA, LMFT, LADC
Wednesday May 11, 2016
St. Paul, MN
This day-long professional workshop will focus on the need to address trauma in LGBTQ communities. We will shed the umbrella term "LGBTQ" in order to look at specific traumas of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer communities as individual subcultures. Starting with a short overview and refreshment of terminology, the workshop will create a path of understanding and exploring trauma in these communities. Participants will engage in dialogue, experiential work, and collaborative efforts in order to best address and treat trauma with their LGBTQ clients.
