Transgender and gender-diverse individuals are a marginalized community facing significant barriers in general society that are often exacerbated by the dynamics of correctional institutions.
This training will provide an overview of relevant considerations for clinical and correctional staff toward a goal of providing more holistic care to this population while accounting for institutional needs. Relevant case law, federal regulations, and professional guidance will be discussed.
A multidisciplinary systems-based model of care will be reviewed. This session will highlight the role of mental health and allied professionals in working toward both quality individual care and institutional-level approaches to addressing the needs of transgender and gender-diverse individuals.
This program is intended for audiences familiar with the LGBTQ+ community. Elements of the training will be relevant to clinicians with and without correctional experience. Those with a foundation of learning in correctional psychology are likely to benefit from this training.
Program Outline:
- Identification of concerns and complexities regarding transgender and gender diverse individuals in correctional setting
