Intersectionality and Trauma-Informed Care

Iya Mystique Faodugun, MS, CFSD, CLE, CBE
Course description
Research has shown that the LGBTQ+ community is more likely to report experiencing trauma due to discrimination because of their sexual orientation. This intersects with the lack of access to quality care for one’s wellness by centering around decreased chances of receiving affirmative and inclusive support from perinatal providers. 
This workshop provides absolutely no “cookie-cutter” way of teaching the importance of trauma-informed support and educating the importance of being inclusive and affirmative in perinatal spaces. This is to check, correct, and collect problematic practices that cause harm to a community that continues to remain marginalized.
