Being partnered or married to someone who identifies as transgender or gender questioning brings its own unique set of experiences. Questions, concerns, joys, excitement can come up, and it seems like no one around you understands. You need a place to safely speak your mind, get support, get answers to questions about how others are navigating this experience. You're welcome to join this monthly support group to find connection, community, support and understanding.
Trans 101
From 9 AM until 12 PM
At Live webinar via Zoom
$ 80
More than ever, people identifying as transgender or gender questioning are in need of compassionate, competent clinical care from mental health professionals. Unfortunately, so many of us didn’t get a foundational knowledge of gender diversity in our grad school programs, and it’s not always easy to find trainings available on this topic. This results in a lot of unmet need within the trans community.
In this engaging, interactive, live webinar, you will be given a foundational knowledge of the diverse array of gender identities, gender expressions, and transition options for clients of all ages. I’ve created this training with actionable information that’s applicable to work with clients across the life span; you’ll leave with knowledge that you can start putting to use right after this training’s over.
This isn’t a typical webinar where you’ll be talked at, disengaged and bored to tears. I design my webinars to be FUN and worthwhile, because I’m passionate about creating great training experiences to help my colleagues be able to provide affirming, inclusive, trans-competent clinical spaces.
Registration includes access to the live webinar, as well as supplemental learning materials to help you continue in this important work after this training. And finally, your registration helps the LGBTQ community; $5 of every registration will be donated to The Trevor Project, a national 24 hour free confidential suicide hotline for LGBTQ youth.
Please be sure to mindfully register for this training as no refunds will be issued.

Writing Referral Letters for Gender-Affirming Healthcare
Letter Writing for Gender-Affirming Healthcare
From 9am ET until 10:30m ET
At Online - via Zoom
$ 37
If you have some experience in working with trans, non-binary clients, yet you feel unsure about how to go about writing the required mental health assessment letter for your clients to access gender-affirming care, this training is for you!
Clients seeking access to gender-affirming healthcare (including cross-hormone treatment and various surgical procedures) are typically required to get referral letters from mental health professionals. Unfortunately, far too often, these individuals struggle with finding providers who feel comfortable writing these letters, which causes harmful barriers and delays in accessing affirming and life-saving treatment.
Far too often, members of this community experience harmful gatekeeping in accessing the affirming and life-saving services they need as a result.
In this 90 minute interactive webinar, you will be given the information you need to be able to provide a referral letter for gender-affirming healthcare, which will leave you feeling confident in providing this valuable service for your clients. In our time together, you will:
- Understand the harms that gatekeeping creates for trans/non-binary clients experience in accessing gender-affirming treatment, and the the ways in which we can avoid replicating this in our own practices
- Learn about the WPATH Standards of care, and understand how to navigate using the SOC in conjunction with insurance policies, physician's requirements to help write letters that will be successful in getting approvals for gender-affirming healthcare.
- Up to date information about specific guidelines for clients with Husky/CT Medicaid insurance in accessing gender-affirming healthcare.
- Tips for advocacy with insurance companies in navigating denials for gender-affirming surgeries.
We will also have ample time for Q&A, to address your specific questions about how to apply this knowledge to your practice.
Please be sure to mindfully register for this training as no refunds will be issued.
This is a live webinar which is not being recorded. You are encouraged to bring any and all questions you have about this process to this training.
