Through this interactive training, participants will understand the spectrum of Gender Identity concerns in a therapeutic setting. Information and terms regarding gender identity continually changes for the better, as should our therapeutic practice.

After attending this seminar, participants will:
- Be familiar with various terms and growing terminology.
- Understand the various procedures that clients may pursue during gender affirmation.
- Learn about the Standards of Care published by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health.
- Discuss various complex procedures from intake and paperwork and health insurance concerns to name and document changes.
- Utilize evidence-based techniques and interventions through case examples.
- Become familiar with the various resources and support groups available to clients in the area.
