What to Expect:
The NEW WPATH GEI Online Intersectionality & Diversity Workshop is intended for different health and mental health related professionals who work with transgender and gender diverse individuals and their families/loved ones. We have invited different trainers from different disciplines to present and to share their clinical experiences in working with different transgender and gender diverse minority groups.
The workshop will include various topics about working with transgender individuals and their loved ones with different intersectionality and diversity backgrounds and issues. The main goal is to provide current clinical evidence-based practices and information on ways to work with these minority groups by learning about our own bias, identifying their unique and extra stressors, and developing some clinical skills.
