Title
Developing Competence in Working With LGBTQI+ Communities: Awareness, Knowledge, Skills, and Action
Abstract
When providing counseling to a LGBTQI+ client, counselors must understand their ethical obligations, as well as attend to the multiple sets of counseling competencies. Using a multicultural and social justice counseling framework, counselors can situate their learning into very specific areas for LGBTQI+ clients: self-awareness of attitudes and beliefs, knowledge of issues faced by LGBTQI+ people, counseling skills, and action. Understanding common terminology, the history of the LGBTQI+ population, and modern issues faced by these communities can help lay the foundation for counselors working with LGBTQI+ persons. © 2017 by the American Counseling Association.
