Detailed Description

In this one-day workshop we will explore systemic approaches in the context of clinical work with people experiencing diverse genders and sexualities. We aim to collaboratively create a context for safe and brave learning opportunities with the hope we can also consider our own sexual and gender identities and the relational influences these have in our work. We will provide theoretical, legal and socio-political frameworks. There will be greater emphasis on gender identity, but within the broader LGBTQ+ context. We will consider relevant terminology and concepts, research findings, clinical themes and how systemic approaches and techniques can be useful. The day will include experiential learning, inviting self-reflexivity throughout. We hope participants will feel more confident to exercise systemic agility when working with people with diverse genders and sexualities.
