Working with the Transgender and Non-Binary Population

October 1, 6, & 8, 2020

Presented by Jake Rostovsky, MA, LMFT

While many mental health clinicians and social service workers would like to think they are able to work with the transgender and non-binary (TGNB) community, there is often a lack of knowledge around what is considered “best practice. Affirmative care goes beyond being “knowledge” about a client’s TGNB status. This training will give an overview of terminology used within the community, mental health disparities affecting the population and key affirmative treatment practices. You will also leave with action items to help ­identify areas in your workplace in which you can implement change that positively enhances affirmative care for your TGNB clients.
