Social Work Resorces for LGBTQ Population

Does anyone know where I can find resources on social work with the LGBTQ population? 

There is “Affirmative Practice: Understanding and Working with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Persons.” from the NASW Press.  You should be able to order it from the NASW website.

These online resources are not specifically targeted towards Social Work but are very useful:

GLSEN

The National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs

HRC

National Gay And Lesbian Task Force

I’m not sure where you live, but I suggest looking up your local GLBT community center and seeing if they offer any training programs for professionals.

Reblogging because I know my program is failing pretty miserably at addressing this so I’m sure others are as well.
