Heart of Texas Counseling Association Presents: Gender Dysphoria Understanding best Practices for Gender Affirming Mental Health
4/26/2024 - 4/26/2024
8:45 AM - 12:00 PM CST

Event Description
As clinicians working with clients with gender dysphoria, it's important that clinicians are more than an ally to clients and students; Clinicians should be affirmative by being knowledgeable of populations' needs. Many transgender/gender non-conforming (TGNC) clients will present in the therapist's office needing a letter to support medical/legal transition, which is required by legal and ethical standards, but counselor education programs do not prepare clinicians for such and there is no formal assessment. While placed in this gatekeeping role, it can become difficult for the therapist to establish a therapeutic relationship.
