Exploring Gender Identity
|
|
Date 5th June 2021 Live Online Training 2pm – 5pm (Ireland)
|
|
Facilitator: Theresa Fraser
|
The World Professional Association for Transgender Health has specific standards of care and training protocols for those who provide care to children and adolescents who experience gender dysphoria. It is important however, for all therapists to be able to communicate verbally and non-verbally that gender expression is not binary.
|
This short training will assist therapists in assessing their therapy spaces, forms and practices to ensure that they are creating spaces for clients who may be questioning so they can feel safe in playing or exploring gender identity as well as being part of the LGBTQ+ Community.
|
Participants will be provided with handouts in advance in order to review worldwide standards of care. They will also complete a self-screening practice assessment tool prior to the training.
|
Come prepared to complete a sandtray in dyads (within breakout rooms on Zoom). You will need a tray of sand (or rice) and a variety of miniatures on your end of the camera. You will leave with specific recommendations about how to make your therapy practice more inclusive.
|
- Play with and discuss own beliefs and attitudes about gender identity and gender expression using the sandtray.
- Audit therapy practice forms, spaces and healing tools for LGBTQ+ inclusion
- Identify ways to make your practice and play therapy spaces more LGBTQ+ inclusive.
