When working with gender-expansive & transgender youth in any capacity, it is crucial to have a compassionate understanding of how one’s gender identity or gender expression impacts the child & their ability to be authentic. In this webinar, participants will learn (or review) basic language for discussing & understanding gender-expansive & transgender youth. We will be discussing the differences between & interactions of various aspects of children’s gender identity & gender expression. We will be exploring the concept of gender dysphoria, how it impacts transgender youth, & interventions available to them including social transition & beyond. Most importantly, we will be discussion the best ways to support, affirm, & advocate for these young individuals.
