LGBTQ+ Council: Social and Support Group & Meeting – 2023 Dates

Text reads “Virtual Support & Consultation Group – 2023 Dates.”

Every second Wednesday of the month from 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm PT, the LGBTQ+ Council hosts the LGBTQ+ Virtual Support & Consultation Group.

The LGBTQ+ Virtual Support & Consultation Group is an opportunity to meet regularly with other social workers working in the field, share resources, build community, and find support. Some meetings will feature presentations from special guests currently working with the LGBTQ+ population.

The group is free to attend and open to all California-based social workers. Students are also welcome, and NASW-CA membership is not mandatory. Three case consultation slots are available per meeting for social workers seeking guidance working with LGBTQ+ clientele. Please note, the purpose of this meeting is not to offer supervision, but to provide an opportunity to consult with fellow clinicians.

To apply for a consultation slot at the next meeting, contact organizers Essy at ehsan.knopf@gmail.com or Verna at verna.n.barrientos@gmail.com.

Register for an Virtual Support & Consultation Group

Please contact Verna Barrientos (she/her) at verna.n.barrientos@gmail.com or Essy Knopf (he/him) at ehsan.knopf@gmail.com if you have any questions or concerns.
