Gender Awareness in Music Therapy

28 March 2023

In this training, participants will gain a greater understanding of the gender spectrum and the unique challenges faced by gender-non-conforming clients and therapists. They will also learn how to challenge their assumptions around gender without judgement towards clients and ourselves. A sensitive approach to working with issues of gender, with clients and in wider work contexts, will be discussed. 

This training is led by Alice Nicholls (they/she) who will draw on their professional and personal experience of working as a non-binary music therapist.

This training is suitable for cisgender music therapists who want a better understand of gender identity issues or who want to do gender-affirming work. Also for Music Therapists who might be questioning or exploring their own gender and wish to learn more about working with clients who identify similarly to them.

28th March 6pm – 8pm (Zoom)
