June 12th: Creating Affirming Spaces for LGBTQIA+ Youth: Policy, Practice, and Ethical Responsibilities in an Ever Changing Landscape CEU Training

$25.00

Training Date/Time: June 12th, 2026 from 12-3pm Arizona Time Zone

This 3-hour CEU, which meets Cultural Competency and Diversity requirements training, prepares social workers and youth-serving professionals to create affirming, ethical, and trauma-informed spaces for LGBTQIA2S+ youth, with particular attention to transgender and gender diverse young people navigating restrictive policy environments. Drawing from research on LGBTQIA2S+ youth mental health, gender-affirming care, minority stress, and social work ethics, the session connects macro-level policy conditions to direct practice with youth, families, schools, and community organizations. References from The Trevor Project, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and recent peer-reviewed literature ground the training in current evidence and professional standards. Participants will leave with practical tools for affirming communication, ethical decision-making, organizational assessment, and policy-informed advocacy.

This training will be provided via Zoom in a live format. No recording of the training will be provided. Attendees are expected to participate live, via Zoom, in order to receive the CEU credits.
