2-day course:
Friday, Sept 18th: 9am-3:30pm
Monday, Sept 21st: 9am-3:30pm

TARGET AUDIENCE: Transgender, cisgender, and non-binary providers will gain useful tools and interventions from this training. Licensed and unlicensed LPC, LCSW, LMFT, PsyD providers; DHS caseworkers, peer mentors, foster parents, advocates, and other helping professionals

COURSE DESCRIPTION
How do people deal with oppression on a daily basis? As a care provider, how do I help people build skills for it? How do I navigate my own relationship with oppression while trying to help another human?

This training draws from the skills-based model of Dr. Leticia Nieto, PsyD, to help providers make sense of how humans navigate oppression-related trauma, and build interventions to increase resiliency. The training will use Nietos trans-theoretical identity model to contextualize common trauma treatment modalities so that providers can identify when, where, and how to implement such interventions, based on a clients given presentation. The training will help providers understand specific processes experienced by many transgender and non-binary people, and support them from trauma- and equity-based models of care.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
