Dr. Shawn Giammattei
The Importance of Self-Of-The-Therapist Work in Gender Affirming Care
In this keynote presentation, Dr. Giammattei will discusses the impact of personal bias, the key person-of-the-therapist work necessary for all of us doing gender affirmative work, the importance of this knowledge on relational reflexivity with transgender, non-binary, gender expansive clients and their families, and ways to use what we learn about ourselves, our narratives, and our relationships with our clients as advocates for change.

Why Online?
Why Online?
We are choosing to offer this conference in an online format for several reasons.
We continue to worry about the ongoing global health crisis of COVID-19, and would like to make the safest choice possible.
An online conference will allow a larger number of people to attend who may not otherwise be able to afford travel and lodging connected with another conference.
Providing the conference online will allow us to keep our costs at minimal levels, which can, in turn, be directly translated into registration savings for you.
The goal of this conference is to bring together like-minded and compassionate systemic providers and students who care about queer and trans wellbeing. We hope to learn from one another, join together in camaraderie and foster the advancement of competent care for trans and queer people in the systemic field.
