Subject: Transitions: Raising a Transgender Child
 

This workshop for parents and caregivers will focus on sharing evidence-based resources on affirming care models, and effective ways to navigate the experience of transition you share with your child.
While there has been an increase in support systems available to parents and caregivers, the amplification of disinformation about gender diversity in youth and the passage of anti-trans legislation has made access to supportive resources scarce—and in some communities completely absent.
Participants in this workshop will:
  • Have the opportunity to explore their own experiences with the gender binary

  • Have access to evidence-based resources on the benefits of gender affirming nurturing and healthcare

  • Make connections with other caregivers in varying stages of raising gender expansive children and youth

  • Be more informed regarding the dynamic situations facing schools, school districts, and school boards, and how to effectively engage with them to benefit your student

Details & Registration: $49-$99. Limited no-cost registrations available for those that find cost to be a barrier to participate. This workshop does not offer CEUs or PDUs.
