Description:
In addition to any client seeking mental health treatment, transgender clients have unique challenges including mental health distress caused by gender dysphoria, oppressive experiences of rejection and violence in a society unaccepting of them and traumas associated with family rejection and interfacing with healthcare systems. Transgender people therefore have high rates of mental health conditions yet seek care at lower rates due to lack of safety in receiving care. In order to receive certain gender confirming procedures, transgender people often have to seek the expertise and recommendation of a mental health professional. This course will look closely at this intersection through foundational information and case illustration.
