Gender diversity among children and adolescents is often overlooked as a phase. However, most children who present with these identity concerns never grow out of it. This web conference is for clinicians who understand the critical needs of a child in that space.
In this 2-hour continuing education web conference, Anisha Cooper will discuss inclusive language, documentation, and environments for the gender diverse child and their family. Anisha will also discuss how to discern the nuances between gender identities and expressions.
