Executive Director Report
LAGPA strives to give our members thought-provoking professional workshops in a LGBT supportive environment. To that end we have obtained the right to host educational workshops and conferences and grant continuing education credits through APA. That is really a coup.
Unlabeled Doesn't Have to Mean Invisible
If someone cannot be labeled, how can they be visible? How do we assist them in creating their own visibility? Without proper training a clinician might not be aware of the blind spots which might prevent them from collaborating with a client on a new truth, as they would try to make sense of behaviors based on past constructs.
