The YMSM+LGBT Center of Excellence is proud to announce a Training of Trainers (ToT) event titled, “A Provider’s Introduction to Substance Abuse Treatment for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Individuals (2nd Edition)”. During the ToT participants will be trained to conduct this new full-day training, which is intended for anyone in contact with LGBT individuals (including MH and SUD clinicians, HIV providers, State, Local and County government employees, Primary care providers, Public health practitioners, Prevention specialists, Community based organizations, School teachers and Counselors). The full-day curriculum consists of six training modules, beginning with an introduction to key terms and concluding with treatment considerations for clinical work. The other four modules address the specific needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals. Individuals with a diverse background who reflect the breadth of the LGBT community are strongly encouraged to apply.
Regional TOT events are being planned in Washington DC, Seattle and Minneapolis.
