LGBTQIA+ clinicians often face a dual burden: managing the demands of their clinical role while navigating workplace discrimination, political tensions, and social challenges related to their identity. For supervisors, offering affirming and inclusive support is not only essential - it’s transformative.
This course is a unique opportunity to develop affirming supervision practices that empower LGBTQIA+ clinicians and foster truly inclusive organizational cultures.
Dr. Kelly Richmond-Moore, DSW, LCSW, PPSC, brings extensive experience and leadership in social work education and behavioral health. As Assistant Program Director and Clinical Professor at the University of the Pacific, Dr. Kelly has advocated for expanding equitable, accessible mental health services and preparing clinicians to work with marginalized populations, including LGBTQIA+ communities.
Dr. Richmond-Moore offers a dynamic and insightful approach, drawing from research and practice experience to equip supervisors with practical tools for affirming LGBTQIA+ staff. This course will support you in identifying challenges LGBTQIA+ clinicians face, developing inclusive supervisory practices, and assessing your agency's culture to promote long-term change.
