As a result of a variety of converging factors including societal oppression and discrimination, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and gender fluid individuals are at greater risk for depression, anxiety, suicidality, substance abuse, and trauma than same-aged peers. Support systems are vital in caring for these diverse populations and are well positioned to break cycles of oppression both within the caregiver system and through advocacy. The purpose of this seminar is to increase personal awareness, increase knowledge, and build greater competency in working with trans and gender fluid youth.
