New trainings organized by ACCEPT Association
ACCEPT Association continues the series of introductory training sessions for the LGBT specific problems.
Therefore, between February 24th and 27th, the second training session will take place, having as invitees the physicians, nurses, psychologists and social assistants. The purpose of this training is to provide the opportunity for participants to learn more about gay issues, in order to offer adequate services to this category of people.
The first training was organized at the end of last year and enjoyed the participation of specialists from the health network and psychosocial assistance.
The topics that are to be approached are announced to be very interesting and up to date: defining terms (sexual orientation vs. sexual behavior) gay community in Romania, LGBT client profile, different aspects encountered during the counseling sessions with LGBT, gay friendly medical / psychological cabinets.
The attendance is free of charge, as the funds necessary for organizing them are provided by the Global Fund, through the Romanian Angel Appeal Foundation, as part of the Adequate Services for MSM (Men who have Sex with Men) program. The main objective of this program is reducing the stigmatization of MSM.
