  Navigating Stuck Points in Religions and Sexuality

  The workshop is designed to help mental health professionals better appreciate the tension that could exist in the lives of their LGBTQ identified or questioning clients who hold or come from a background that privileges traditional, conservative or orthodox religious beliefs. While research on the complicated relationship between religiosity and LGBT identification is becoming more available, findings from these studies have been generally inconclusive in determining the specific aspects of religiosity that are associated with various mental health outcomes.
