This course examines issues relevant to counseling gender and sexual minority clients. It focuses on the meaning of sexual orientation and gender identity and expression for individuals across the lifespan; contextualizing the impact of these identities from within an intersectional framework; and exploring the developmental, cultural, and social factors for LGBTQ+ communities. It addresses the impact of minority stress, the implications of deconstructing cis-heteronormativity, and the promotion of queer and trans-affirmative counseling practice.
