LGBTQ Competency Training

The North County Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning (LGBTQ) Resource Center training is a 2-hour workshop that promotes safety, inclusion and wellbeing for LGBTQ patients, employees and clients in general. 

Well-trained staff that effectively implement LGBTQ and gender inclusive practices are the foundation of a safe work environment, and it is of a great advantage to the population we serve. Creating a more accepting, inclusive, and diverse work environment teaches people how to recognize and resist stereotypes.

The North County LGBTQ Resource Center has created training and tools for educators, social workers, mental health providers and service providers in general with the following objectives in mind:

• Decrease the use of hurtful or exclusionary language and/or practices
• Intervene when witnessing anti-LGBTQ language, harassment and/or bullying
• Understand the legal frame work and the possible liabilities
• Serve as a resource and support, both for individuals who identify as LGBTQ and staff, administrators and clinicians and learn how to be a visible ally
• Create LGBTQ competency in all aspects of our services and culture
