Description: In the last three decades, there has been an increase in the amount research on members of racial and ethnic minority communities; the importance of multiculturalism; counselor cultural competence; and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ) issues (see Cass, 1979; Crenshaw, 1989, 1991; Cross, 1971, 1978; Goldberg & Kuvalanka, 2012; Helms, 1990; Ratts et al., 2016; Sue et al., 1992; Wolfson, 1994). Despite the increase in research about people from marginalized communities, there remains little research and counseling practices that interrogate the holistic experiences of BIPOC LGBTQIA+ clients. This webinar will examine current research, lived experiences of clients with intersectional marginalized identities and the counseling implications for providing cultural responsive and affirmative practices.
