Queer Social Work: Formulating LGBTQIAP2+ Affirmative Practice (2 CEUs)

NASW-CA is hosting a virtual workshop on January 27th, 2022 from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm PST! This workshop will be presented by Dr. Tyler Argüello. We will center Queer Theory as a critical theory driven and progressive framework to more responsively and competently serve LGBTQIAP2+ communities, marginalized populations, as well as cis heteronormative people.

Queer Theory will be applied to assessment and case formulation, and then this is married with evidenced-based practices to flesh out action and treatment plans consistent with increasing the mental/health and equity of LGBTQIA+ client systems. Two contemporary cases will be presented, about queer clients working with queer social workers, which cover a wide spectrum of sexualities, genders, and intersectional issues. 2 CEUs will be offered.

Fees:

• $20 (Member)
