Foster Care Training

This competency training supports service providers in deepening their understanding of how to address LGBTQ-specific microaggressions (misgendering, etc.) leveled at colleagues & clients. Through self-reflection, group discussion, and roleplay, participants will learn to think intersectionally about how to address LGBTQ microaggressions based on professional role. Participants will learn how to intervene when harassing, discriminatory, or simply harmful language is used against LGBTQ people, specifically youth in care, based on individual power & privilege, and will review four possible responses to microaggressions.
