Gender Diversity Level I - An Introduction
ID: 5371WEBHow can I keep track of the many types of gender identity terms and experiences out there? What are the best ways to talk to clients about gender identity? How do I know what I don't know about gender diversity? This webinar is intended to give an in-depth overview of the basics of gender diversity for clinicians. It covers the many different aspects that make up a person's experience of gender, including identity, gender expression/presentation, gender role, and biological sex, and provides a model that can be utilized with clients to explore their own identities. The webinar covers a variety of gender identities and the best language to use when talking about them, as well as explaining the differences between gender identity and sexual orientation. We will discuss what we do and don't know about how transgender identities occur as a basis for a gender-affirming model of care. A model that understands the experience of gender as internal and separate from one's biology. Finally, we will discuss important considerations for culturally affirming care of transgender and other gender diverse clients and how clinicians can prepare for this work and consider both the challenges and rewards of working with the transgender population.
This webinar is the first of a 3-part series presented by Stephanie "Del" Sasso, PyD.
Part II: Thursday, May 11, 2023, Gender Diversity Level II - Overview of a Model for Assessment and Treatment, 1pm to 4pm.

Gender Diversity Level II - Overview of a Model for Assessment and Treatment
ID: 5372WEBThis program is the second in a series, and is recommended (but not required) after taking the Introduction to Gender Diversity webinar (#5371WEB) for those who do not have a strong basis of prior in-depth understanding of gender identity.
It will bring participants beyond considerations of gender identity to begin developing a deep sense of gender dysphoria; the primary distress impacting the mental health and wellbeing of those who choose to undergo social and/or medical gender transition, and the primary reason gender diverse individuals seek gender-related mental healthcare. It will explore the experience of dysphoria in depth, as well as the opposing experience of gender euphoria. It will then cover how these concepts can be explored with clients to not only assess dysphoria clinically, but develop a targeted treatment plan based on different types of dysphoric experiences. It highlights a number of areas in which the treatment of gender dysphoria differs from traditional psychotherapy practice, requiring systemic interventions on a number of levels, and coordination of care between a variety of providers. This program is perfect for those who want to take their work with gender diverse individuals to the next level, becoming a nuanced, skilled evaluator, prepared to develop individualized treatment plans for these individuals, and for those who want to develop strong assessment skills before embarking on working with this population.
This webinar is the second of a 3-part series.

Gender Diversity Level III - Treatment of Gender Dysphoria
ID: 5356WEBIt is highly recommended to take this training only after taking Gender Diversity Level II - Overview of a Model for Assessment and Treatment.
This training utilizes specific learning about sub-types of gender dysphoria and other relevant experiences common to transgender clients presented in the Level II webinar to inform Dr. Sasso's treatment model. The model is based on Dr. Sasso's work with the transgender population across the lifespan, using an in-depth assessment of gender dysphoria, expanded developmental history, and assessment of internal gender distress as well as environmental stressors to inform treatment decisions. This webinar provides in-depth case examples of clients of varying ages with diverse gender-related treatment needs. It covers differential diagnosis between primary mental health conditions, impacts of minority stress, and gender dysphoria and discusses the need and process for frequent re-assessment. It provides examples of working with clients with more than one source of minority stress (intersectional identities), working with a medical care team, as well as with families of transgender youth and young adults.
This webinar is the final of a 3-part series.

ID: 1130WEBAccording to the International OCD Foundation (IOCD): "Hoarding has been a hidden disorder for many years and before the early 1990?s, there was little research on topic."

Understand the Trans/Nonbinary Experience & Providing Affirming Care
ID: 5365WEBMany transgender and non-binary people struggle to find therapists that are affirming of their identities, and even clinicians that are well meaning often have to be educated by their clients when it comes to their gender identities. This webinar is designed to facilitate consciousness-raising and depth of self-awareness of how gender socialization impacts and informs the therapeutic lens and therapeutic relationship. Participants will have opportunities for small group discussions and self-reflective activities to facilitate a depth of personal and professional understanding of how themes of gender inform clinical conceptualizations. Participants will also gain a foundational understanding of the lived experience of transgender and non-binary individuals, as well as core current affirmative language and terminology to use with gender-expansive individuals and groups.
