Working with LGBTQ+ people | Social Work Week 2021

Often, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (or questioning) and other’s LGBTQ+ issues are missed out of social work education and training. This session aims to challenge prejudices and improve awareness of working with LGBTQ+ people, particularly transgender and non-binary youth.

In this workshop you will have the opportunity to reflect on the language to use when working with people from the LGBTQ+ community as well as helpful practice tips. You will also meet a panel of experts by experience, who will speak about how social workers can improve their practice with LGBTQ+ people and raise awareness on this topic.
