The vulnerability of transgender and gender nonconforming children, and the harms they suffer as a consequence of family rejection and social marginalization, are well-documented. This training for providers will review gender-affirming practices, and the role that providers and others working with transgender foster youth can play to support youth. In this training, participants will become familiar with WPATH Standards of Care, as well as other tools for writing Letters of Support (LOS) for foster youth seeking gender affirming interventions.
