Changes in terminology over time, and increased legislative scrutiny, present challenges for all clinicians wanting to provide quality, and dignified, services. In this presentation, we will be exploring some of the history of LGBTQ+ counseling, while also receiving current information on complex issues such as navigating advocacy in an rapidly changing socio-political climate.</font></span> <p align="center" style="font-size: 16px;"><br></p> <p align="center" style="font-size: 16px;"><font color="#132824" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>About Our Presenter:</strong></font></p> <p style="line-height: 27px;"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font style="font-size: 14px;" color="#1F1F1F" face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font style="font-size: 14px;" color="#1F1F1F" face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif">Carmen is a former HAMFT Board Member (Director of Ethics and Diversity), and a "transplant" from the San Francisco Bay Area to Houston in 2021.
