Description

In the effort to end the HIV epidemic by 2030, sexual and gender minority persons living with HIV and facing substance use concerns confront unique obstacles (Liboro et al., 2020). Despite prolonged lifespans from antiretrovirals, many report persistent psychological distress, increased substance use (CDC, 2022), and diminished quality of life (Dyar et al., 2019). Despite these challenges, hope prevails for resilience within this community. This webinar addresses the experiences of SGM persons living with HIV and those in recovery, emphasizing strengths-based interventions and intersectionality. Through an intersectional resilience lens, participants explore strategies for providing inclusive, affirming counseling care.

Target Audience
  • Counselors
  • Addiction Counselors
  • Psychologists
  • Social Workers
  • Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists
