How to Create A Practice That Welcomes Members of the LGBTQ Community [5]
  • Advertise practices as accepting of members of the LGBTQ community.
  • Educate staff and providers to be comfortable in discussing sexual orientation, gender orientation, and sexual practices.
  • How do I support LGBTQ clients?
    Always respect and maintain an LGBTQ young person’s privacy and never disclose confidential information about sexual orientation or gender identity without the client’s permission.
