Description

When seeking care, nothing is scarier to transgender individuals than a provider who’s poorly informed about the issues facing their community. From discrimination and harassment to mental health issues and the process of transitioning, having a clinician who’s informed and affirmative can make a huge difference in ensuring transgender individuals get the help they need, ultimately decreasing the risk of suicide in this population. Through firsthand accounts coupled with clinical information, this recording will explore how you can be an affirmative provider. You’ll discover: 

  • Areas of common clinical concern and treatment when working with transgender individuals 
  • How gender dysphoria is commonly experienced   
  • The medical, social, and psychological aspects of transitioning all therapists should be aware of 
  • The critical aspects of incorporating trans-affirmative care into your practice
