No trainings are scheduled at this time.
For individuals seeking cultural competency training, I can recommend:
– the Transgender Training Institute (offers AASECT credits) or
– the National LGBTQIA+ Health Education Center (offers AAFP CME/CEU credits).
These organizations both offer affordable online training options.
For organizations or groups, feel free to get in touch about scheduling a training using the contact form below, or check out Bridge 13 in Portland OR.
Are you looking to improve your cultural competency with trans and gender-diverse people? We can help!
My collaborators and I offer cultural competency trainings on gender diversity. We’d be happy to share with you about our lived experience as counselors specializing in gender work, and as community members and consumers of health services.
These trainings are geared toward health professionals who are seeking to improve their ability to accommodate transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse patients and clients. We currently offer two different 2-hour trainings:
- Introduction to Trans Cultural Competency
- Introduction Non-Binary and Genderqueer Cultural Competency
For these trainings are designed to conform to the Oregon Health Authority guidelines for cultural competency continuing education (CCCE) credits to health professionals licensed in Oregon. (Check with your board to find out what your CCCE requirements are.) If you’d like to see the educational objectives for these trainings, you can download a copy here.
Rave reviews
We want to make it easier for providers to meet trans and gender-diverse clients with clarity, sensitivity, and compassion. Here are a few reviews from a recent training that show us we’re on the right track:
Very helpful in understanding how important it is to ask for pronouns and helpful in realizing there is so much more work ahead. I have many teen patients who have changed names and pronouns and yet have not made dramatic physical appearance changes. It was helpful the way you explained the internal identity and the external presentation… Thank you!
Amazing training! You both handled uncomfortable questions so professionally, modeling how to show respect and make a safe space for us to learn and grow in our understanding.
Thank you for an amazing informative look at the needs for addressing individuals in a respectful and sensitive manner.
We collect feedback at the end of each training, in order to stay responsive and evolve our curriculum to audience needs. In a recent training, our approval rating was 96%.
