In the current world of ever-increasing political attacks and proposed policies in our schools and at the government level—which discriminate against trans youth and adults as well as seeks to criminalize and erase their mental health and other gender affirming care—trans emotional trauma is on the rise. In addition to dealing with gender dysphoria, trans people are hearing and seeing their very existence being questioned and devalued causing a spike in anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation.
The last thing a trans client needs at this delicate time is to come to you for mental health support only to inadvertently be hurt yet again. Not deliberately, but for a lack of the specialized knowledge and insight needed to truly care for this especially vulnerable community.
In this recording, watch Rizi Nasele Bamaiyi Timane, LCSW, DSW, a Certified Trans-Sensitivity and Diversity Trainer to ensure that you are ready and confident to provide informed care from the very first moment that you begin engaging with trans client.
After attending you’ll be to:
When the trans client can trust and see you as an affirming caregiver, the therapy sessions will transform for both you and the client as they will open up. Dr. Timane’s session will help you expand your practice with confidence by declaring yourself and your practice as being not only LGBT friendly but specifically, Trans affirming and safe!
