3 Anti-Oppressive Social Work Practices CEs
Based on 2020 Gallup data, 3.1% of American adults identify as bisexual, and 11.5% of “Generation Z” (born 1997 or later) adults identify as bisexual. More Americans describe themselves as bisexual than gay or lesbian, yet little training is available for social workers on the specific health and behavioral health needs of bisexual people.
This workshop is designed to prepare social workers to provide more culturally informed social work services to bisexual clients. Bisexual people have significant differences in experience from both their heterosexual and gay/lesbian counterparts, and an approach informed by disparities, risks, protective factors, and strengths specific to bisexual identity will result in improved service delivery for clients.
The workshop will explain the historical and cultural context but is primarily focused on strengthening practical clinical knowledge.
