About the Workshop:

Recent news coverage in our country has documented the constant, targeted attack on the LGBTQIA+ community, which led to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) issuing a state of emergency declaration in June 2023, something that has never occurred in its 40+ year history (Human Rights Campaign, 2023). Historically, LGBTQIA+ folks have been a marginalized community, frequently dehumanized simply because of their identity. Through trauma-informed care, we can support and empower our LGBTQIA+ clients as they navigate these events. Before we can provide trauma-informed care, we must first differentiate between trauma-informed and trauma-focused. Together, we will review the six trauma-informed principles outlined by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), their importance in practices and organizations, and how these principles can serve as the blueprint for empowering our LGBTQIA+ clients.


Learning Objectives:

  • Define trauma-informed care.
  • Identify three trauma-informed principles.
  • Differentiate between trauma-informed and trauma-focused therapy.
  • Explain the importance of trauma-informed care for LGBTQIA+ folks.

* Please note that this workshop will include both didactic and experiential learning components. The experiential learning structures include sociometry, demonstrations of a sociodrama, and other experiential processes which often include (optional) personal disclosures from participants. While personal growth is often a byproduct of experiential learning in psychodrama, the primary purpose of this workshop is training. If you are seeking a workshop for personal growth or seeking a professional training event that is entirely didactic (lecture/powerpoint), this is probably not the best workshop for you.

No conflicts of interest or outside commercial support have been declared by the presenter or others involved in the program.

This workshop is designed primarily for psychologists, social workers, counselors, therapists, and graduate students, but other professionals may also find it helpful. The instruction is designed at the introductory level (although many advanced professionals may also find it helpful).
