Description
Almost 1 in 10 Washington, DC residents identify as LGBTQ, significantly higher than any of state in the US. 43% of these residents identify as People of Color. This seminar will first explore how emotions and defense mechanisms affect human behavior in response to socially-engineered trauma. We will then explore the colonial legacy of gender and how it impacts Black and Indigenous residents. Participants will also explore unique barriers for residents seeking and receiving services, and best practices for bridging gaps in access to care. Join Maryland social worker, Randall Leonard, LCSW-C (they/them/theirs), in exploring client-centered techniques to reach, connect, and serve this large and diverse group of residents in a variety of health care settings.
