COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Behavioral Health services are a key component of Integrated Gender Affirming Health Care. This session introduces why and how gender affirming care is part of supporting transgender and non-binary youth in accessing life saving services.

Most importantly, providers will leave with an understanding of how to facilitate service access instead of being a barrier for vulnerable youth..
