Dear Colleagues,
Its my pleasure to offer this very unique course to you. My goal is to provide you with the most
comprehensive and in-depth understanding of working with LGBTQ spectrum clients and families, and to
build a network of therapists who are truly equipped to serve this community.
What is LGBTQ?
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning and everything in between that is
non-heterosexual and non-gender conforming.
I've recently completed a survey and taken into account what you have shared about the class and
what your professional needs are. Thank you!
As a result, I have a new format which maximizes what you said you found most valuable about the
experience. This year, I'm offering a an introductory course and a half day case conference to go
deeper!

2. I'm taking a new approach which gives you a chance to learn, digest, and then come together to go
deeper into case discussion. I hope to repeat this model and create a space for networking and
professional collaboration that will support you in your work.
I often hear from attendees that they have learned completely new information that they can apply with
their LGBTQ clients as well as a personal shift in reflecting about their own experiences as a
sexual/gendered person. I hope you will take this opportunity to learn about the intersection of gender,
sexuality, race and class.
Of course, we will have a break for lunch and getting acquainted. Lunch will be provided by PDM. Early
Bird Discount ends May 28 and seating is limited.
I look forward to seeing you there!
Lisa

3. What have other attendees said?
Lisa's workshop is a fantastic sounding board for learning about the LGBT community. Her
welcoming and nonjudgmental style allowed for participants with limited knowledge to feel
comfortable. The resource materials are incredibly helpful to further one's learning beyond her
workshop. This workshop is money and time well spent.
Cara O'Donnell, MFT
"Lisa brings an amazing combination of passion, experience, knowledge and compassion when it
comes to working with clients and informing her colleagues and the general public about LGBT issues
and challenges.
Her ability to captivate an audience with the latest research and real world stories makes for a
dynamic presentation that needs to be heard by organizations and groups everywhere."
