Reviews from Previous Conferences

I learned more from this conference than I did from most of my grad school classes. As a queer non binary provider working with primarily queer and non conforming folks, it is so important to hear from others who share these identities in how to best support and affirm my clients. I also really appreciated the letter writing training as it has allowed me to help so many clients access affirming care. I am excited to attending this upcoming year and continuing to show up and learn!

Every presenter was amazing and brought a wealth of information and experience to each session. I continue to use what I learned in the conference and in Van’s other trainings as a starting point to do my own self work and to better support my clients and the community. I've gotten so much out of previous conferences and I can't wait to attend this year's!

Attending this conference was a game-changer for me. It took me from being informed to embracing an affirming understanding and practice, and I couldn't be more grateful for the experience. If you're looking to level up your understanding and support of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, trust me, the Do Something: Identity(ies) conference is where it's at. You won't regret it!

As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and addiction specialist, I was blown away by the quality of content and selection offered during the conference. The robust selection of top-notch presenters was impressive and the topics covered a wide array of timely and relevant material. I would strongly encourage anyone working in any helping profession to attend this conference if at all possible. It is exactly this kind of content and presentation that is needed in order for us to heal ourselves and those around us.

Accessibility and transparency are top priorities for the DSI Conference. We actively encourage attendees to share their accessibility needs and will do our best to accommodate them and/or be honest if we are unable to meet those needs. This also applies to what we can provide and work towards removing barriers wherever possible. This includes offering sliding scale and no-fee tickets to ensure that financial constraints do not prevent anyone from participating. Our goal is to make the conference a space where everyone can fully engage, learn, and contribute.
