Mental Health Care for Transgender, Nonbinary, and Gender Non-Conforming Clients

Madison, WI US
November 14, 2019

This workshop will focus on a variety of issues focused on gender identity, transgender people, and mental health. The workshop will introduce topics focused on a biopsychosocial approach. Specifically, the workshop will provide an overview of the social constructs of gender and identity development through the lifespan. Next, the workshop will cover interventions that focus on youth and families, social transitioning (e.g., names, pronouns, clothing), medical transitioning (e.g., hormones, surgeries) and the outcomes related to transitioning. The workshop will end with defining controversies in the field, such as the concept of "detransitioning" and "rapid onset gender dysphoria," which will outline why the controversy exists and critical ways for the audience to approach these topics.

Intended Audience

MDs, Psychologists, APNPs, Social Workers, Counselors, and Marriage and Family Therapists
