This workshop meets the license renewal requirement for Anti-Oppressive Social Work Practice for Maryland Board of Social Work Examiners’ COMAR 10.42.06.03.A.(1)(d) with a focus on cultural humility, social justice, and implicit bias.
This foundational course is designed for professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of the LGBTQIA+ community and to foster a more inclusive, affirming environment in their practice or organization. Through an intersectional and justice-centered lens, participants will explore key concepts, terminology, and identities commonly associated with the LGBTQIA+ spectrum.
Participants will gain practical tools for building authentic rapport with LGBTQIA+ individuals and examine the historical and present-day barriers faced by this community—including systemic discrimination, social stigma, and inequitable access to services. The course will also address how implicit bias and organizational culture can unintentionally marginalize LGBTQIA+ clients and will guide learners through the process of identifying and dismantling these barriers within their own settings.
Finally, the course will connect the dots between individual practice and broader social justice issues, equipping learners to be active allies and advocates for LGBTQIA+ equity in both professional and personal spheres.
