This training is for those who already have a basic understanding of LGBT+ youth and families. In this training, will begin by reviewing queer theory and gender minority stress. Next, we will review the gender queer, transgender, and asexual communities. Case examples, clinical tools, and resources will be reviewed. We will review the guidelines published by (WPATH) and the social justice issues associated with mental health services to the queer community. Finally, we will discuss ways to create a safe school and home environment through advocacy and creating gender communication and support plans.

Connection: To ensure CIP COE provides top quality training and learning experiences, all participants must have their cameras on for the entire training event to attend and receive credit. The attendance and participation expectations are the same for virtual and in-person training events: no multitasking, follow along, engage, and participate in discussions and other activities, no traveling in a car or attending concurrent meetings.

Note: If you join the training without your camera on, you will be removed and need to reschedule.

1. Bandwidth issues: inform your agency and make plans to access a connection that is conducive for camera-on, engaged learning.

2. Chromebook or similar devices generally complicate your connection. You will not be able to obtain chat information etc.; you will need alternative options.

3. Phoning in with audio (no video) cannot verify attendance, you will be removed from the training and unable to earn credits.
