Overview

This training reviews the appropriate pronouns and language to use when addressing transgender individuals, and discusses the role of the social determinants of health (social, economic, physical, environments, etc.) in leading to poorer mental and physical health outcomes for transgender individuals. Next, we will define systematic and structural violence, and identify how they affect the health outcomes of transgender individuals. Lastly, as a group, we will evaluate areas of need in the transgender population and the role of Full Service Partnership (FSP) teams. Anytime session recorded on May 26, 2020.
