The course uses videos that center the authentic experiences and voices of transgender, intersex, and two spirit people, addressing the issues and problems that they face and how to work effectively with them. Participants will do self-reflective explorations around their own personal gender story, reflecting on what gender roles and expressions they have they been “taught or caught.” Understanding the full context of what our clients and colleagues are going through in the child welfare system, especially those who may be struggling with the coming out process or working through a transgender transition is critical for social workers and providers to recognize and support, in order to provide supportive counseling and appropriate referrals for them.
