Sexuality and Gender Studies

In order to be an effective community and justice services worker, one must have strong skills to work with people from a wide variety of diverse sexual and gender orientations. Students have the opportunity to discuss themes related to sexuality, sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. Students learn to self-reflect and unpack their internalized beliefs and the societal norms that influence the way that they view topics relating to gender and sexuality. They also learn practical skills to work with diverse clients in a way that is respectful and values their dignity.
