Approaching Challenging Paperwork in a Trans-Affirming Way

jeudi 21 juin 2018 à 08:00–09:20 PDT
Cordova
Workshop Description

Members of the care team from CHLA's Center for Transyouth present best practices for supporting clients who need letters of referral for gender-affirming surgeries, as well as assistance navigating legal name and gender-marker change paperwork. Systems connected to medical and legal entities are not always trans-affirming by design, and our approach involves partnering with clients to support them in a flexible, knowledgeable, empathic, and holistic way throughout their journeys.
