Sex, Gender and Sexual Orientation - INSPQ Course 

Diversity related to gender identity, gender expression and sexual orientation in today’s society. Beyond acronyms such as LGBTQ+* and LGBTQI2SNBA+**, there are words, rights, and realities specific to sexual and gender minorities.

With these factors in mind, the goal of this training course is to promote the inclusion of sexually and gender diverse individuals, and to raise awareness about their experiences and needs in the context of professional and community interventions, especially in health care and social services. 

The free course takes place entirely online. It includes a one-hour asynchronous portion (online learning component) and a 3-hour synchronous portion (online workshop). All you need is to creat a free account to follow the online asynchronous portion.
