Why Should You Take This Course?
Walking the tightrope between religiously conservative parents and LGBTQ+ children and teens can be precarious unless you have a balanced approach to treating all family members. Therapists who work within this population need to be able to share factual information with empathy and compassion, and guide the family through a course of treatment that includes education and a focus on attachment rather than on sexual orientation and gender identity.
In addition to getting an overview of the issues faced by this population, you will learn evidence-based tools for helping clients cope with tensions between their faith and their sexuality. Natasha Helfer, LMFT, CSTS generously shares her knowledge and clinical experience to help you become competent in this area.
