CBC NYSHF: Transgender Sensitivity

When: Thursday, October 14 - 12:00 PM

Duration: 2 hours

Location: Zoom Webinar

Event Details:

This training will help participants to gain a better understanding of the transgender community and transgender sensitivity.  It will explore the building blocks of identity and the differences between sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and sex assigned at birth.  It will also present trainees with up-to-date vocabulary relating to these topics including terms to avoid. 

The training will provide concrete strategies for creating a welcoming environment for transgender workers and clients.  For example, we will discuss ways to create an intake form that accommodates gender diversity.  We will also discuss the current legal protections for transgender and gender-nonconforming people.
