This workshop is a two part series developed for Behavioral Health Practitioners. Gender diverse youth experience barriers to receiving adequate, gender-affirming care. A significant barrier to care for trans youth is lack of access to knowledgeable and affirming providers. The majority of behavioral health providers indicate that they have had insufficient opportunity for training and development in this field. This led PCMH to develop a workshop to address the need for education on how to conduct a readiness evaluation and write appropriate letters of support from behavioral health personnel that fulfills all requirements set forth by WPATH – The World Professional Association for Transgender Health.
Date and time:
Workshop 1: 2/7/23 4pm – 5pm
