He discusses the typical issues TGNC clients present with, in addition to the accompanying challenges and opportunities in mental health practice with TGNC people. Special emphasis on case examples and strategies clinicians may use to advocate on behalf of their patients/clients are also included. Assessment of internalized transprejudice and lifespan concerns, as well as participants’ own construct of gender are also addressed.

Learning Objectives: Participants will learn to:

1)Identify the professional standards, competencies, and guidelines for psychological practice with TGNC clients

2)Describe 3 frameworks that support TGNC-affirmative care.

3)Articulate 3 challenges in the assessment of Gender Dysphoria and Transprejudice and 2 opportunities for advocacy for TGNC clients.

4)Explain reasons and processes for engaging in Interdisciplinary Collaborative Care with TGNC patients/clients.
