This popular seminar includes 2 guest speakers from the transgender and intersex communities, as well as a video presentation. If you want to learn about how to best understand and support your transgender clients, this is a great way to do it! This class is for anyone who works in a mental health or social services capacity.
I am pleased to announce that one of my speakers will be Hida Viloria, an intersex activist who has been featured on several TV shows and documentaries, including Oprah, Tyra Banks, 20/20, and the films One in 2000 and Gendernauts. Her book Mighty Hermaphrodite: Memoir of a Well-Hung Woman, will be available soon. Learn more about Hida at her website http://www.hidaviloria.com.
Previous participants in my workshops have said they found it easy to ask questions and interact with each other in the comfortable, informal atmosphere, and called the workshop organized, informative, very clear and helpful. They especially loved being able to ask questions of the guest speakers. Discounts are available below. Please post or forward this announcement.
