Description
In working with today’s youth, we need to create a space for understanding and safety within the walls of our facilities for trans and gender-diverse individuals. This workshop will help clinicians grasp terms, ideas, and situations that trans and non-binary youth are experiencing today. Participants will be able to assess their own practices as it relates to transgender youth and be able to take with them an overarching understanding of the coming out process. Discussions will include policy and paperwork, talking to parents, creating safety within the group process, and how to effectively be an ally to trans and non-binary youth.
