Increase your knowledge of what gender-affirming surgery entails, and build competency and confidence in providing counseling to transgender clients before and after surgery. Clinicians will learn the importance of exploring the social, psychological, and physical pros and cons of gender-affirming surgery, including the emotional benefits and the emotional toll.
Through medical details, video, and personal stories, we will pull back the veil on what happens during surgery and what the emotional and physical recovery entails. Clinicians will also examine their own biases and anxieties around providing counseling to individuals undergoing transition and gender-affirming surgery.
