Counseling Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Youth

Catalog description

Although support for rights and protections is at historic highs, a majority of LGBT and gender non-binary youth report experiencing bias, harassment, assault, and victimization based on their sexual or gender identities or their diverse gender expressions. This course explores ways mental health professionals counsel LGBT youth to enhance coping with psychosocial and minority stresses and in affirming their sexual and gender identities.
