  • LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy with Dr. Jay Bettergarcia

    • Fri, July 24, 2020
    • 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM
    • Unitarian Universalist Fellowship
    Registration is closed

    LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy

    Dr. Jay Bettergarcia is a licensed psychologist and assistant professor at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo whose work focuses on teaching, training, and providing LGBTQ+ affirming therapy. Dr. Bettergarcia will review LGBTQ+ terminology, discuss ways of creating affirming office environments, and explore therapeutic considerations for working with LGBTQ+ people using interactive activities, videos, and role plays. Join us to learn more about supporting LGBTQ+ clients in therapy!  

    I lead the Queer Community Action, Research, Education, and Support (Q C.A.R.E.S.) research team. With this team, I utilize community-based action research and mixed method designs to study LGBTQ mental health and wellness, including affirming approaches to mental health care for transgender and non-binary people. I also investigate evidence-based approaches to teaching and training about diversity, including the reactions (resistance and receptiveness) often encountered in diversity trainings and how to "roll with resistance." My goal is to better understand the experiences of LGBTQ community members, especially those who are underserved, and to utilize data to create evidence-based strategies for teaching and training about sexual orientation and gender diversity.  See the website at https://www.queercares.com
