Description:
With everything we are seeing and reading, it is easy for therapists to worry about how to legally and ethically support clients who are exploring their gender identity. Rebecca Waletich will draw from 25+ years of therapeutic experience to teach engaging and impactful evidence-based ways to meet clients' needs as they explore their gender, using best practices, while also ethically protecting the therapist’s license, and agencies they work for, or the businesses they own, in the current political climate.
Objectives: Participants will-
● Learn evidence-based treatment modalities that support people in exploring identity in an ethical, client-centered, way.
● Leave understanding ways to support clients that don't put their clients, their licenses, and their agencies at risk.
● Learn about community supports that can help clients outside of the therapy office.
