About this Event
This training is suitable for mental health professionals who already have some experience in working with transgender, non-binary and gender questioning clients. This full day training goes more in depth than my Trans 101 training to explore ways in which you can support clients through social, legal, and medical transition. Case vignettes will be explored during this training in breakout group sessions, to start to apply your learning right away. Specifically, this training will cover:
- The intersections of gender diversity and cultural, racial, religious identities and socioeconomic status
- Detailed information about medical transition options such as cross-hormone treatment and gender affirming surgeries
- Assessing and addressing family dynamics with minors who are transitioning
- How to provide psychosocial assessments for clients seeking gender-affirming healthcare, to provide letters of support without gatekeeping
- The processes for legal transition steps in CT.
- Gender dysphoria and co-occurring experiences such as substance use, PTSD, autism
Registration fee includes: training materials, CEC certificate upon completion of training and post-training survey, and a 30 minute case consultation session w/Sarah Gilbert, LCSW which can be scheduled anytime before 1/1/25
