Teaching & Training About Diversity

There are various methods for teaching about issues of diversity to increase receptiveness and decrease resistance. We are interested in the factors that influence training success (e.g., content and context), for LGBTQ+ trainings with health professionals and students-in-training. A current project tracks the efficacy of a series of trainings on transgender basics for mental health professionals and medical doctors.
