1/1

Workshop topics may

include, but are not limited

to: prevention, early

intervention, clinical

interventions, peer

support, family support,

health promotion, the

coming out process, mental

illness stigma, trauma-

informed care and suicideprevention.

Proposals can also address

the intersections between

behavioral health and

other areas including, but

not limited to: LGBT elders

and aging, using art

therapeutically, safer-sex

practices, race and

ethnicity, ability, medical

needs, tribal communities,

educational institutions,

the legal system and the

criminal justice system.

Workshops do not have to

focus on all LGBTQ

communities, but can focus

on individual communities

(for example, integrative

health for individuals who

identify as transgender or

peer support for gay men,

etc.).

Please keep in mind that

the Lets Get Better

Together Conference is

statewide, and proposals

should therefore discuss

how the presenters plan to

be inclusive about reaching

participants from all areas

in Arizona.
