LGBTQIA+ Affirmative Counseling: Identity Development and Ethical Practice (1 CE)
Saturday November 7, 2026 3:45pm - 4:45pm EST
Session Feedback (for CEs)
Understanding LGBTQIA+ mental health and identity development requires a foundation in human development from conception to the end of life—including brain mapping and gender affectional patterns—which offer insight into behavior and inform therapeutic interventions. Ethical treatment planning involves recognizing the complexities of the coming out/disclosure process for youth and adults, assessing safety factors, and identifying support systems. Affirmative counseling strategies must be tailored to the individual, with practical applications that uphold ethical standards and minimize risk across diverse developmental stages.
