Last Week to Join: Essential Skills for Supporting LGBTQI+ Young People (Only €90)

Practical training to help professionals create safe, affirming spaces for LGBTQI+ youth.

This Saturday could change how you support young people forever. Are you ready?

Did you know that 42% of LGBTQI+ youth seriously considered suicide in the past year? Yet most professionals working with young people feel unprepared to provide the affirming, effective support these vulnerable individuals desperately need. If you've ever felt uncertain about how to create inclusive spaces or worried you might inadvertently cause harm, you're not alone, and there's a solution.

The Gap That's Costing Young Lives

Every day, LGBTQI+ young people walk into schools, youth services, and counselling rooms hoping to find someone who really understands their world. All too often, they encounter well-meaning professionals who lack the specific knowledge and skills to provide affirming support. The cost? Lost trust, missed opportunities for intervention and young people who continue to struggle in silence.

You care deeply about the young people you serve. You want to do better. But good intentions aren't enough when working with LGBTQI+ youth who face unique challenges around identity, family relationships, peer acceptance and mental health.

The Solution: Expert Training That Actually Works

Dr. Michael McArdle's Working with LGBTQI+ Youths workshop isn't just another diversity training session. This is practical, evidence-based education that gives you the exact tools you need to:

• Create genuinely safe and affirming environments

• Navigate complex family dynamics and disclosure conversations

• Recognise and respond to specific mental health risks

• Build therapeutic relationships based on authentic understanding

• Support identity development with confidence and competence

Delivered live online, this interactive 8-hour intensive course means you can participate from anywhere while earning 8 valuable CPD points. Dr. McArdle brings both academic expertise and real-world experience, ensuring you leave with skills you can implement immediately.
