The Gender Timeline: An Intervention to Help Trans Clients Understand Their Mental Health and Substance Use Patterns
Virtual, hosted with Connective Therapy Collective in Portland, Oregon, $40
In this training, mental health therapists will learn an intervention to use with transgender clients: the Gender Timeline. The Gender Timeline intervention will help clinicians discuss gender development, mental health patterns, and substance use patterns with their trans clients. Clinicians will learn how to use the timeline and will practice using the timeline in this training.
Please note: This is a training led by trans people that affirms trans people. A gender-affirming counseling philosophy, commitment to correct pronoun usage (and openness to correction), and knowledge of basic queer and trans terms are required for this training.
This training provides 2 CE hours.
