Intercom Trust offers a safe and non-judgemental environment in which to learn about and reflect on the experiences of those with diverse sexual orientation or gender identity.

The overall course aim is to increase practitioner confidence and cultural knowledge when working with LGBT+ clients or their families, and to help professionals understand the hidden barriers for such clients when accessing their services.

Module 1: LGB Awareness.

Module 2: Transgender Awareness

Module 3: Key presenting issues and reflections for practice

The course has been designed as an 'entry level' awareness course for those with little knowledge or experience of LGBT+ people or the issues they may present, or as a 'Refresher' course or those with more knowledge / experience.

It has been written by Intercom Trust professionals (including counselling psychotherapists and clinical supervisors), and draws upon the in-depth knowledge, statistics and experience the organisation has garnered from their work across the rural Southwest over the past 26 years.
