Trans Today: Standards of Care, Informed Consent, and Letter Writing Made Easy
Workshop Description
Informed Consent steadfastly affirms that that body autonomy is a fundamental human right, but it is far more complex than “hormones/surgery on demand”. Few know its’ roots or how truly innovative a philosophy of care it actually is.
This workshop offers a trans-positive, client-centered framework within which we as providers can conceptualize what we are already doing to support our trans and gender nonconforming clients… a model that remains true to our principles of client centered care and minimizes gatekeeping. This workshop places Informed Consent within the historical context of LGBTQ+ activism and features an in-depth examination of its’ nuances and practical applications to aid you in providing thoughtful care as well as to help you be both more compliant and more confident in your treatment of this vulnerable population.
