Course Evaluation

The session will explore the application of a trauma-informed approach to providing transgender affirmative care to the trans community. Through our direct client care experience we will teach you the standard of care necessary to serve the transgender community in addiction and mental health treatment facilities. We will discuss in detail the trauma of gender dysphoria and how to treat the trauma of gender dysphoria. We will outline the life-saving interventions paramount to serve the trans community. These will include medical interventions, family interventions, and social interventions. You will learn the do’s and dont's when working with transgender individuals. The goal is to leave this workshop with a cultural shift that is pertinent to providing transgender-affirming care.
