As our society continues to grow with acceptance and support for Transgender and Gender Non-Binary individuals, more and more children and youth are seeing that it’s both safe and healthy to come out and share their thoughts and feelings about their own gender. Medical and mental health providers are in an ideal position to help young people explore their gender in safe and healthy ways. In this presentation, you can look forward to reviewing the foundation of gender and sexuality development in childhood; consider the factors that influence the diagnosis of gender dysphoria; and identify systemic support for Transgender and Gender Non-Binary children, youth, and families.
