Topics in Counselling - Queer-Affirmative Counselling

Access: Open to past and present Acadia Counselling students or by permission of the instructor.

Queer-Affirmative Counselling is designed to introduce new and established helping professionals to queer-affirming counselling perspectives and practices. It provides a starting place for counsellors to "do the work" to provide more intersectional, anti-oppressive, and affirmative care to 2SLGBTQIA+ clients. Part of this work includes ongoing self-reflexivity on implicit biases and assumptions around gender and sexuality so that counsellors can better identify and challenge cisheteronormative discourses in counselling and beyond.

Instructor: Malory Beazley
