Using a Strengths Based Approach with LBTQ+ Folks
A Session by Sharae Vicknair, MS, MEd, PLPC (Counselor, TRiO Student Support Services at LSU)
About this Session
Mental Health treatment for LGBTQ+ individuals has been historically harmful. This presentation will review the history of treatment for the LGBTQ+ community and the unique challenges for LGBTQ+ individuals. We will then discuss ways to provide strengths-based counseling for the LGBTQ+ population that will rewrite the script from risk to resilient, from deficit-identifying to strength-building.
