Reason for joining the directory

As a queer person in GR, I've often felt like I had to hide parts of myself to get my needs met, or risk judgement at best and dehumanization at worst. I have some power and privilege as an educated white cis woman with letters after my name, and I want to use my power to support systemic change.

LGBTQ+ training

I have worked at a psychiatric hospital for over 6 years and received regular training on trauma-informed care for LGBTQIA+ folks, trans healthcare, and anti-racist healthcare. I would LOVE more training, as the field is always growing and changing, and I am open to nearly anything. I have read extensively on poly relationships but would love training on how to support folks looking to explore polycule dynamics.
