Information

Date & Time

Description

This webinar will focus on the critical nexus of advocacy, pride and joy within the queer community, particularly for transgender youth, who in 2026 are the focus of both state and national level criminalization of both their health care (specifically) and their existence (generally). This reality means that clinical work with this community has to be rooted in political and systems advocacy, and concurrently, a treatment and relational emphasis on trans pride and trans joy.

Learning Objectives

Participants will be able to:

  • Name one concrete intervention clinicians can utilize in order to center advocacy in their practice.

  • Identify at least one way that legislation has impacted mental health of transgender youth.

  • Describe one way in which clinicians can utilize research and data to combat misinformation about the transgender community.

Educational Goal

The educational goal of this workshop is to provide information and context for the vital role that advocacy plays in psychotherapeutic work with vulnerable communities, as well as the importance of pride and joy as clinical interventions.

Target Audience

  • Addiction Professional
  • Counselor
  • Marriage & Family Therapist
  • Psychologist
  • Social Worker
