In the post-pandemic world, an increasing number of people are seeking mental health services. Providers therefore have more opportunities to work with LGBTQIA+ identifying people and their families. This workshop will review clinical concepts for consideration when working with trans clients and their families. Through case conceptualizations and experiential activities, we will explore various family responses to a loved one’s transition, and review best practices for promoting family healing.
