COURSE DESCRIPTION:
People of color who identify as transgender and/or gender non-conforming experience unique struggles due to the intersection of anti-transgender bias with structural and interpersonal racism. It is critical that mental health providers recognize the needs of this highly marginalized population who often have increased psychosocial, medical, and mental health concerns.
We will utilize the 2011 report of the National Transgender Discrimination Survey to provide data points to demonstrate the increased levels of discrimination for trans individuals of color. We will provide clinical vignettes and case scenarios in order to help with case conceptualization and treatment planning. We will discuss the importance of using a gender affirming, culturally competent lens and holistic wrap- around approach in working with youth and their families.
Lastly, there will be time for discussion and brainstorming of how participants (individually and within their organizations) can become more trans-informed and provide gender affirming and culturally competent care.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
This workshop will help attendees to:
- Discuss basic terminology, language, vocabulary and background re: history of transgender and gender non-conforming communities
- Identify specific psychosocial, medical and mental health concerns of the highly marginalized Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming communities of color
-
Identify and demonstrate interventions to implement gender-affirming, culturally appropriate/competent strategies to support transgender communities and trans communities of color via education, social activism and direct clinical services
- Participants will be able to describe three ways they can become an ally to the transgender/gender non-conforming community.
TARGET AUDIENCE:
The target audience includes Licensed Psychologists, Marriage Family Therapists, School Psychologists, School Counselors, Graduate Psychology Students, and other mental health professionals.
