PSY85150/PSY8515 - Professional Application of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Issues

(1 unit)

This course requires delivery of a project or services to an LGBT Human Services agency. It is intended for students seeking a certificate in LGBT Human Services who are unable to secure a practicum or internship at an LGBT agency (an agency that serves at least 50% LGBT clients and whose official mission statement specifically includes working with the LGBT population) or an agency that agrees to allow the student to see LGBT clients as 50% of their caseload. Students typically take the course for 2 units, corresponding to creation of an intervention or prevention project that includes 4 hours/week at an LGBT Human Services agency and 2 hours per week of Instructor supervision. Students will keep a weekly, online journal, attend weekly live webcasted class meetings, and complete reading and journaling assignments.
Prerequisites: Completion of Foundations of LGBT Mental Health with a B or better
