The Sexual and Gender Diversity Learning Community (SGDLC) is a clinical training program developed by Sean Lare and Michael Vigorito, which was revised and evaluated in partnership with the University of Maryland Prevention Research Center. Based on a commitment to address gaps in understanding LGBTQ+ mental health care, the SGDLC was developed to introduce healthcare providers to basic concepts related to LGBTQ+ mental health and wellness, preparing them to serve LGBTQ+ clients competently.
The workshop aims to improve graduate students':
- knowledge about LGBTQ+ health disparities and affirmative mental health services for LGBTQ+ people.
- comfort and confidence with providing LGBTQ+ affirmative mental health care and facilitating sexual health conversations.
- skill and ability with providing LGBTQ+ affirmative mental health care and facilitating sexual health conversations.
