Gender transition involves navigating complex social, legal, medical, and mental health systems. It can be hard for the caregivers of Two Spirit, trans, non-binary, and other gender-diverse youth to find the right information. In this webinar, social workers will build capacity to support caregivers of gender-diverse youth as they learn to be gender-affirming and find the services their families need, with a focus on an Alberta-context. Using case examples, we will explore common challenges caregivers face, offer tangible evidence-based strategies, and clarify processes for accessing care.

PolicyWise for Children & Families is a non-profit organization working with diverse communities to improve policies and practices that benefit well-being.

Webinar Key Objectives:

  • Increase awareness of challenges supportive caregivers face as they navigate their youth’s gender transition.
  • Build understanding of social, legal, and medical gender transition processes in Alberta and mental health impacts for gender-diverse youth and their caregivers.
  • Learn evidence-based ways social workers can support gender-diverse youth and their caregivers.
