Origins of Transgender and Gender Nonconforming (TGNC) Pathologization 

Anna Mendlein, LISW

Wednesday, October 7th, 2020, from 12:00pm-1:00pm (Lunch and Learn)

1 CE- Meets ethics requirements

This webinar will provide training on the pathologization of trans and gender non-conforming (TGNC) identities as a major barrier to gender-affirming healthcare for this population. It will present specific information on the role of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) and the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in forming the framework for pathologization through the Standards of Care and DSM respectively. The webinar will offer mental health clinicians methods of advocating for TGNC self-determination and access to care while providing direct practice within an oppressive system.
