If you’re a Counsellor, Therapist or Mental Health Professional working with GSRD clients, offering a supportive therapeutic environment for coming out is an essential aspect of effective practice. The complex, developmental nature of the coming out process is no longer exclusive to sexual orientation and you may find yourself working concurrently with key issues of gender identity, lifestyle and the intersections between the communities to which individual clients belong.
If you’d like to develop an in-depth understanding of the conflicts and tensions experienced with coming out and offer inclusive, affirmative clinical practice, Pink Therapy’s Coming Out: Issues and Perspectives online-learning CPD module will equip you with the skills to embrace a diverse range of social contexts and unique GSRD identities with professionalism and confidence.

If you select ‘Self study materials only’ you will receive the information for personal learning but won’t need to submit an assignment. If you select ‘Submit an assignment for Certificate Of Study’ you will submit an assignment that will be marked by one of our Faculty. If you pass the assignment, you’ll be issued with a Certificate Of Study from Pink Therapy for 15 hours of online learning. If you don’t pass, you will be given an opportunity to resubmit.
