Workshop: Gender Diversity Education for Counsellors
BCACC Region 2 Workshop – Victoria, BC
Gender Diversity Education for Counsellors
Presented by Alyx and Kingsley
Diverse gender expression and exploration are valuable elements of our ever-evolving communities. It is important for counsellors to embrace and adapt to these cultural shifts and to understand the challenges and excitements that trans, non-binary, and Two-Spirit clients and their families may experience.
What you will learn
Alyx and Kingsley will introduce frameworks for understanding gender beyond the binary, offer space to practice new language, and explore strategies for applying these learnings on an individual, relational, and systemic level.
