Mental Health Needs of Transgender Non-Binary (Trans NB) People

This course includes in-depth readings, discussions and treatment interventions for clinicians to gain knowledge in the three general areas of mental health that transgender clients often seek treatment. These three areas include: exploration of gender identity and may include preparation and assessment for various gender affirming treatments and procedures, coming out and social transitions, and general mental health issues, possibly unrelated to gender identity. Learners will analyze and discuss ethical dilemmas often faced by providers and transgender patients in the access and provision of health care.
