This Pride month, show your support for the LGBTQ+ community with a gift to support the expansion of our Sexual and Gender Diversity Learning Community (SGDLC) program. With our $10,000 goal, we will be able to train 40 therapists on best practices for working with the LGBTQ+ community in mental and behavioral health care. A donation of $250 will provide comprehensive training for one therapist in our SGDLC program.
The University of Maryland Prevention Research Center (UMD-PRC) is committed to research, service, and training to improve mental health among LGBTQ+ communities. In collaboration with partner organizations, we have developed and evaluated the SGDLC training, which increases the competence of mental health providers to care for LGBTQ+ clients.
