With the variety of terms and ideas in today’s LGBTQ+ culture, it’s easy to feel lost in the complexity of sexual and gender identity, while also feeling overwhelmed by the fear of inadvertently offending your client somehow.

But it doesn’t have to be this way! Aaron Testard is here to bring you the latest research and trends in sexual and gender identity issues.

This training will give you:

  • Tools and knowledge to confidently work with clients on any part of the sexuality-gender spectrum
  • Clear strategies to comfortably engage clients around cultural norms, gender, sex, relationships, and terminology
  • A navigation map to tailor treatment approaches each step of the way in the client’s self-discovery process
