Foster Care Training

Many providers are familiar with the concept of gender dysphoria, the sense of distress related to the perception of one’s gender as it relates to gender diverse identities. However, many providers are not familiar with its opposite, gender euphoria—anything that makes a person feel affirmed or aligned in their gender. In this session, rather than focusing on factors that cause gender diverse youth to feel incongruent in their gender, we will explore sources of gender euphoria—not only for those we work with or serve, but for ourselves. As we discover what makes us feel joyous & authentic, we can support others in doing so for themselves.
