About the CommonPoint E-learning (Reading)

The CommonPoin E-learning provides a thematic self-education process to mental health professionals. The e-learning was developed in the framework of the CommonPoint project, which aims at developing innovative and easily accessible learning and training materials to train professionals in the field of mental health, in order to promote the design of personalized support programs for LGBTQI+ persons in their empowerment processes.

This e-learning consists of two main parts: The LGBTQI+ 101 part consists of 6 modules that provide an introduction to the most important LGBTQI+ topics: Terminology; Transgender, sex-diverse and gender-diverse persons; Coming out; Human rights and the systems of oppression; Mental health risk and minority stress; Personal and professional prejudices. This part is particularly important as it lays down the basic definitions and the mindset that we will use throughout the e-learning.

The Field-specific guide for hotline and chat operators/school counsellors/clinical psychologists/social workers part is curated specifically for mental health professionals working as  hotline and chat operators/school counsellors/clinical psychologists/social worker and contains relevant theories, good practices and exercises that help professionals to implement more inclusive practices.
