While this training is focused on power dynamics that may exist between therapists and clients, all are welcome to attend.
Part 2 of this training will be offered in January 2022.
This training is hosted by Sex Therapy New Mexico. We are based in Albuquerque on Tiwa land. We believe in working towards structural change by offering training for healthcare providers who want to be more inclusive of all our intersecting identities and experiences as clinicians and clients.
