Foundations of LGBTQIA+ Affirming Care: Beyond Language and into Practice

Are you a mental health or medical professional who wants to offer affirming care—but you’re tired of surface-level trainings that stop at pronouns?

This 3-hour in-person training goes deeper. It’s designed for clinicians and providers who want to build real skill, cultural humility, and emotional fluency when working with LGBTQIA+ clients.

Led by queer therapist and educator Chris Brace, LCSW, this training blends clinical depth with community insight to help you shift from performative to transformative care.

🧠What You’ll Learn

  • What cultural humility looks like in session
  • How to spot and repair subtle harms (even the ones we don’t mean to cause)
  • How emotional labor shows up in affirming work—and how to carry your share
  • Practical repair and reconnection tools you can use immediately
