Our division of the American Counseling Association is a home for Queer and Trans Counselors, Ally Counselors, and Advocates to connect and grow. Our focus is on building competence for all mental health specialists so that all LGBTGEQIAP+ individuals can find a safe and affirming space to heal. We promote research and education that furthers the counseling field in working with LGBTGEQIAP+ people of intersecting identities. We mentor new professionals and emerging leaders in the field of counseling LGBTGEQIAP+ clients. We connect and work closely with ACA and other ACA divisions in order to promote multicultural competence and social justice. We advocate for LGBTGEQIAP+ clients in communities, mental health systems, and public policy.
