About the Webinar
Gender nonconforming youth are emerging at increasingly younger ages, and those experiencing gender dysphoria are seeking medical care at the onset of puberty, or sometimes even before. Youth with gender dysphoria are at high risk for depression, anxiety, isolation, self-harm, and suicidality at the onset of puberty. Existing strategies for treating transgender youth depend on the developmental stage at which these youth present for care.
Few health care providers are familiar with how children and adolescents who are exploring or struggling with gender issues might present in their practices. The audio recording of this webinar will help increase your awareness and screening of these clients and give you tools to support them and their families. It covers standards of care and timelines for prescribing GnRH analouges to suppress endogenous puberty. It also covers standards of care for gender-affirming hormonal treatments during adolescence.
Fees
The audio recording is free of charge
