This training is for individuals who are interested in learning how to write letters of support for surgical procedures for transgender individuals. To better understand the current requirements for letters, the training begins by looking at the past and how letters of recommendation from mental health providers began. The training defines what it means to be a "qualified mental health provider" in this context, what needs to be included in letters of recommendation, and what does not. There is discussion for how to advocate for the most vulnerable clients who have mental health concerns or are experiencing housing insecurity. And finally, the video reviews the most common surgical procedures clients are seeking recommendation letters for. Recorded on September 29, 2020.

Please note that CEs are only available by attending the live virtual training, not the anytime session.
