"Inspired Allies": All Modules (DOWNLOADABLE BOOKS)

Welcome to the “Inspired Allies: Affirming Practices with LGBTQIA+ Clients for Behavioral Health Providers” Downloadable Book Collection   I believe that, as behavioral health clinicians, we have an ethical obligation to not only meet our clients where they are but to also advance our areas of competency when we are presented with client needs that are beyond our existing comfort zones or areas of expertise.   Far too often, LGBTQIA+ clients are referred out to other providers by very well-intentioned clinicians who question whether they have the skill set needed to effectively treat the presenting concerns of LGBTQIA+ individuals.   Let me tell you a little secret…YOU have the capacity to be an informed, affirming, AND effective clinician for your LGBTQIA+ clients. It may take some assistance from others to help you advance your clinical skills and increase your comfort, but you CAN do this important work. And, frankly, this community needs more clinicians who are willing to expand their practice with LGBTQIA+ individuals of all ages. We just do not have the luxury in today’s behavioral health environment to simply refer these clients out and hope for the best. I believe that we can do better.   With the behavioral health needs for LGBTQIA+ individuals at an all-time high and access to affirming and safe providers being a top priority for this community, I’m excited to offer this training series for behavioral health clinicians. Throughout these downloadable books, participants will have the opportunity to learn, reflect, and challenge biases along their way towards developing great CONFIDENCE and COMPETENCE in working with the LGBTQIA+ community. This curriculum has been a labor of love for me and has taken the last two decades to coalesce into the program you see today. I’m so proud of what this program has become, and I’m honored to be able to share it with you. If you are interested in attending one of our Inspired Allies certification courses, please visit https://inspiredcg.com/inspired-allies-certification/ and connect with me directly. I look forward to meeting you!   On behalf of the LGBTQIA+ community, I want to personally thank you for your interest in these resources and for your commitment to your LGBTQIA+ clients, both current and future. I’m looking forward to working with you as we go on this adventure into allyship together. Let me be the first to welcome you into the ranks of Inspired Allies from all over the country who are taking these essential steps in developing affirming core competencies for clinical work with LGBTQIA+ individuals.   Sincerely, your Ally in care,   Christopher S. McLaughlin, MSW, LCSW Owner and Lead Consultant Inspired Consulting Group, LLC
