TRAINING SUMMARY & OBJECTIVES
In recent years, a record number of anti-trans legislation have been proposed and passed across
nearly every state in America. The vast majority of these legislations target transgender, gender
non-conforming and non-binary (trans) youth. As a result, trans youth are experiencing
increased mental health symptoms including persistent anxiety and suicidality. Although many
mental health professionals want to support trans youth, few have been trained working with
trans youth and their families.
This webinar will provide a comprehensive overview and case examples of working with trans
youth and their families, including evaluating, diagnosing and treating Gender Dysphoria in
minors and supporting family members.
Class Objectives:
1. Identify 2 signs of Gender Dysphoria among prepubescent children.
2. Identify 2 treatment options for minors struggling with Gender Dysphoria.
3. Identify 2 community-based resources for family members of trans minors.
