This month, we hosted a Brown Bag talk featuring UpLift therapists Victor Rivera Sink, LCMHC, and Dr. Rajkaran Sachdej, alongside community activist Emma Holland 🌈🍉 and campus clinician Caitlin Hughes. They shared valuable insights on creating a safe and supportive space for LGBTQIA+ individuals. Here are some key takeaways for UpLift therapists: → 𝐀𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭-𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝: Listen actively and learn what "affirming care" means to each client. Their journey is unique! → 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥: Consider how a client's LGBTQIA+ identity intersects with race, ethnicity, and other aspects of their life. → 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐠𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫: Be mindful of subtle verbal or nonverbal cues that might be unintentionally harmful. → 𝐁𝐞 𝐚 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲: Advocate for your clients and display pride flags or wear pronoun pins in your office. →𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐮𝐩-𝐭𝐨-𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞: Continually expand your knowledge by attending workshops and reading research on LGBTQIA+ mental health. UpLift is proud to support our therapists in providing quality care to the LGBTQIA+ community. #UpLiftHelps #LGBTQIA #mentalhealth #affirmativecare #PrideMonth

Our latest blog post by Casey C. demystifies this tool for capturing key client information. If you have clients who are curious about your notes—or you’re a client yourself, seeking answers—check out the article to learn: ‣ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭. What information about you matters to a therapist? The kind that deepens their understanding of you and deepens the therapeutic relationship. ‣ 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬. By documenting progress, therapists tailor treatment plans based on any change (or lack thereof) in symptoms to help clients reach goals. ‣ 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬. Different kinds of notes serve different purposes, and HIPAA grants access to some notes while denying it for others.
