Inclusive Gender Diverse Practice

Working with gender-diverse clients requires more than simple awareness of issues—it demands inclusive practices, deep understanding, and a commitment to creating truly affirming spaces. This training will equip you with the knowledge, confidence, and tools to support gender diversity with sensitivity, respect, and professionalism. This is a sensitive subject that may challenge personal beliefs and or biases, and we invite you to take care of yourself during the training experience.
