C20 — Going to the Doctor While Trans*
Date & Time
Tuesday, October 17, 2023, 2:45 PM - 3:45 PM
Description

Mental health is affected by physical health and vice versa. If your client needs to see a doctor but refuses, what then? Helping clients work through barriers to care is essential. But do you really know what your gender diverse clients are facing when they seek medical treatment? Do you know what "trans broken arm syndrome" is? How does the medical field's view of trans* people affect their care? How can you best prepare your clients for a doctor visit? We will cover all of this and more in a presentation that puts you in the shoes of a trans* person going to the emergency room for care.
