Webinar Description:

Trans Awareness is part two, of a three part series. (attendance of all three sessions will be beneficial, though not required)

As a counsellor and/or health professional it is important not to rely on transgender individuals to be your educators. We will explore gender identity and how it interacts with sexuality, roles, expression, behaviours and stereotypes. Gender as a social construction and terminology.

The importance of names and pronouns, how to get it right. Social and medical affirmation/transition journeys and the role counsellors and therapists have in this process. Age and stages of life for affirmation and the needs of trans and gender diverse individuals.
