Dear Student Members,

A follow up note to ensure that you know that the WPATH 2020 Live Symposium has been cancelled, stay tuned for online scientific and educational programs that are being explored. Please see the official WPATH statement here that you received last week.

With the current pandemic impacting our personal lives and academic progress, we have put together a list of resources that may be helpful in navigating clinical training and graduate education, as well as some information specific to trans individuals, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

• The Coronavirus (COVID-19): What Trans People Need to Know from the National Center for Transgender Equality
• Trans and Gender Diverse People and COVID-19 from ACON
• Open Letter About Coronavirus and LGBTQ+ Communities from GLMA
• WPATH GEI Telehealth & COVID-19 Resources Information for Healthcare Professionals
• How to Create an APA Style Reference for a Cancelled Conference Presentation
• JSTOR is offering open access to ebooks and journals
• The American Psychological Association has a list of resources for information and guidance during the COVID-19 Pandemic
• Coronavirus information in your language from SBS

Stay well, and as always, please email wpathstudents@PROTECTED if there is anything you would like to discuss. 

Best wishes,

Penelope Strauss, Chair of the WPATH Student Initiative

Jared Boot, Vice-Chair of the WPATH Student Initiative
