Inclusion w/o Compromise: Building Capacity for Queer-Inclusive Healing in Your Practice
Workshop & Training
Join Mx. Lena Queen, LCSW, M.Ed. for this 2-hour professional development workshop to discover how to make inclusivity a practice, hold yourself accountable for the space you create, humanize who (sexuality& gender expansive people) & what you don’t understand (healing-justice & comprehensive sex ed). You will also learn how to combat compassion-fatigue & resist leaning back into sex-negative sexological worldviews also known as “The Defaults”. As a private practice owner & clinical sexologist, I will also share what I got right, what I got wrong, and what I am still learning about building a queer-inclusive practice.
This workshop is for helping professionals like social workers, educators of all levels, counselors, and therapists (sexuality, mental health, occupational, marriage & family), in addition to, and service professionals like educators, administrators, &direct service professionals (non-profit & for profit).

Diversity, equity, and inclusion training is a must and just the start of impactful workplace and company cohesion. Understanding how company culture uses power to reinforce harmful stereotypes and widens the culture divide between administration and non-administration team members is the bare minimum in today's workplace. Leading with emotional intelligence and equity, leadership must learn how to develop and apply an intersectional lens to their leadership delivery in order to shift the workplace culture from burn-out to affirming and trauma-informed. With this 5-part training series, helping and service provider leadership will expand their interpersonal skills & widen their compassion threshold by learning how to engage in safer interactions with team members and clients. This training and coaching can be carried out in a dialogue of mini-seminars, activities, and processing discussions. Each learning session is 2-2.5 hours to allow for processing and participant demonstration. To support the sustaining of such training, supplemental resources and consultation will be provided.
