Trans Care: Basics

Trans Care: Basics stresses cultural competency and sensitivity concerns including trans-vocabulary, trans-history, engagement concerns, ethnic/cultural/class differences within the trans-communities, trans-space, legislative developments and resources. In addition to didactic material, group exercises and the viewing of a short videotape help to develop the participant’s awareness of the breadth of identities within the trans-communities.

Trans Care: Practice

Trans Care: Practice focuses on trans-practice and clinical concerns using a model that emphasizes the needs of a collection of communities, articulating identity and community development over pathology and diagnosis, shifting the practice emphasis to the management of stigma associated with trans-identities, the reduction of barriers, the establishment of sufficient and freely accessed services and the articulation of community. Areas covered include: intake and assessment, gender identity development and transition support, trans-medical and health care, mental health care with focus on trauma-related practice and resources. In addition to didactic material, role-playing vignettes and exercises help to develop the participant’s skills.

Trans Care: Hidden Populations

Trans-Care: Hidden Populations incorporates portions of the Basics and Practice workshops and expands this to offer population-specific material about portions of the trans-communities that are not yet socially or culturally visible, including trans-men (FTM), trans-youth, trans-elders and partners of trans-identified people (trans-partners), as well as outreach and intervention strategies for those populations.

Trans Care: Medical

Trans Care: Medical incorporates portions of the Practice workshop and expands this to offer a model for consent-based, rather than a diagnosis or pathology-based, health care services for the trans-communities. Areas covered include: engagement concerns, identity, the reduction of barriers, the establishment of sufficient and freely accessed services, gender-confirming hormonal and surgical interventions, and HIV/AIDs.

Trans Care: Gender-Confirming Surgery/Trans-Care: Documentation Changes

Trans Care: Gender-Confirming Surgery and Trans-Care: Documentation Changes explore and offer insight into the role service providers play as trans-people seek gender-confirming surgical procedures and documentation that confirms, rather that conflicts with, their identity.

Trans Care: Human Rights Implementation

Trans Care: Human Rights Implementation explores and offers insight into the implementation of New York City’s recent human rights legislation adding protections for transgender and gender-different people.
