This is the first of four trainings offered to develop comprehensive skills associated to providing gender affirming care as a mental health professional.
Review theories and lenses regarding gender in modern society, binary and expansive concepts of gender identity/expression, and examination of the intersection of gender and sexuality. This training is foundational for evaluating provider bias and developing comprehensive insight to meet the needs of gender diverse individuals and transgender persons seeking therapeutic support/evaluation for readiness to transition.
Course objectives:
- Learn key concepts about gender as a spectrum of expression that includes non-binary identities and ways that gender expansive language is intersex inclusive
- Understand the model of interpretation that explains why the LGBTQIA+ community is at higher risk of suicide, particularly trans people of color
- Learn about multi-layered therapeutic models and frameworks to support youth who are struggling with their gender identity.
