Rhode Island Psychological Association Online Continuing Education Workshop

Description: Over the past few decades, the number of young people identifying as transgender or non-binary (TNB) has increased worldwide. The appropriate healthcare of TNB young people is a matter of intense controversy, both legally and socially. This presentation provides an overview of relevant LGBTQ+ terminology and relevant scientific literature, explores what transition is and what it may or may not include, discusses the ethics of working with trans youth and clinical considerations/skills (e.g., what is gender exploration), and practice recommendations for working with parents and caregivers.
