LGBTQ Youth: Effective Trauma Assessment and Intervention

About the Course

Trauma-informed knowledge, skills, and resources are necessary to capture a full picture of what a LGBTQ+ youth might be experiencing. This workshop will provide recommendations for enhancing mental health in LGBTQ+ youth. It will also introduce learners to the principles of trauma-informed care and the realities of trauma within this community. Affirming tools for clinicians to assess trauma experiences in youth will be shared and clinical recommendations for effective and sensitive practice will be presented. The AFFIRM CBT Model will be introduced and reviewed. Learners will engage in more trauma informed practices with LGBTQ+ and gender expansive youth and feel more confident in supporting this community.

This course is based on the recorded webinar, LGBTQ Youth: Effective Trauma Assessment and Intervention created by Diane Bigler in 2024.
