Delivering Culturally Competent Services with the Trans/Non-Binary Community:
A Trauma-Informed Approach
With the rise of anti-trans legislation and violence across the nation, it is crucial that social workers provide welcoming and inclusive services to the trans and non-binary community. This presentation will identify the basic foundations of offering trans-affirming therapy services and analyze the complex structures and systems that impact the daily lives of trans and non-binary community members. SAMHSA’s Trauma Informed Care Principles will guide the discussion and will be interwoven into clinical case examples. Resources will be offered for social workers to continue their education and be equipped with referrals to offer to their trans and non-binary clients.
Objectives:
- Define and understand language around gender identity, gender expression, and pronouns.
- Identify intersections of identities and systems of oppression that impact trans/non-binary communities.
- Apply trauma informed care principles in clinical care of trans/ non-binary clients.
- Discuss case examples & practice delivering trans affirming services
