Please note that this type of registration is for currently enrolled graduate students. No professional CE credit will be issued for attendees who select this registration. Fee selection is on a pay-what-you-can basis. Please consider your financial need when selecting your admission cost so as to keep the lowest fees available for those with the fewest financial resources.
We are excited to host our guest presenter, Lance Madow, LPC for this creative new form of therapy.
There is a significant love for all things geek and nerd culture within the LGBTQIA+ community, one that is often misunderstood and underappreciated. As these interests are growing in acceptance and included in popular media, so are the ways that people begin to see themselves represented and can explore who they are through the actions of characters. Classic tropes in media can also be impactful for queer and transgender individuals in identifying how they feel they should show up in society, both negative and positive, which can influence identity formation. In this training, we'll be discussing some of the major characters your queer, transgender, and gender expansive clients may identify with, the different ways they utilize geeky interests to connect with aspects of their identities, and how they take can take an active role in creating their sense of identity through geek media.
This workshop is pending approval for 3 Core CE hours for Social Workers and Professional counselors licensed in Georgia
