COVID-19 Resources from OutFront MN and the MN Department of Health
VIRTUAL
LGBTQ+ MEMBER EVENT
A MN LGBTQ+ THERAPISTS NETWORK GATHERING
~ Our Fourth of Five Support Gatherings During COVID-19 ~
Free to our LGBTQ+ members.
Thursday, July 22, 2021
630p - 8p
(Being a member of the FB page is not the same as being a member of the MN LGBTQ+ Therapists' Network. See the Join The Network webpage.)
We've been enduring a pandemic, an increase in anti-transgender legislation, more police murdering more Black men and women, the five year anniversary of the mass shooting at Pulse in Orlando, and "The" trial; all in the midst of an international uprising for racial justice.
These significant issues impact our clients, and ourselves. As LGBTQ+ helping professionals, we are holding space for our clients' ups and downs, while also juggling our own.
Too often, we just keep plowing forward. Let's pause. Take a breath. Let's connect and hold space with each other.
Our discussion prompts:
- How have you been juggling the issues related to COVID-19, racism and anti-racism, oppression fatigue, and the political trauma stress?
- How are you doing? No, really: How are you doing?
- What have you professionally and personally lost and gained during these past several months?
- How has COVID-19 changed your practice or your agency's services?
- When are you going to see clients in person? Will you now use a hybrid model (part in-person, part telehealth)?
- If you have been seeing clients in person, how is it going?
- What, if any, policies or protocols do you have in place?
- What have you learned or experienced this past year that is having a positive impact on you?
Together, let's inspire the nourishment and joy that comes with being in Community.
Facilitated by Irene Greene, Chair of The Network
