Unity in Diversity: Global Perspectives on Transgender Families and Care
Date & Time:
Live Session: Friday, May 30, 2025 – 10:00am – 2:00pm Eastern Time (GMT-5)
What to Expect:
The WPATH GEI Online Intersectionality & Diversity Workshop – Unity in Diversity: Global Perspectives on Transgender Families and Care is intended for all medical and mental health professionals who work with TGD and gender-diverse individuals and their families/loved ones. We have invited trainers from different disciplines across the globe to present and share their clinical experiences in working with different transgender and genderdiverse minority groups.
The workshop will include various topics about working with transgender individuals and their loved ones with different intersectionality and diverse backgrounds and issues. The main goal is to provide current clinical evidence-based practices and information on ways to work with these minority groups by learning about our own biases, identifying their unique and extra stressors, and developing clinical skills.
