Comprehensive Approach to the Care of Gender Non-Conforming Children, Transgender Youth and Young Adults; An educational symposium for professionals
Ongoing distress that results in an impairment of function about the incongruence between one's assigned birth sex and one's internal gender identity is termed gender dysphoria. In order to help alleviate this distress, many transgender youth require physical changes to their bodies in order to bring them into closer alignment with their internal gender identity. Unfortunately, access to competent mental health and medical care for those youth desiring gender transition is still extremely rare, and often inadequate in most places around the United States. This program is a comprehensive, two day symposium designed for professionals interested in providing sensitive and competent mental health and medical care for gender non-conforming children, transgender youth and young adults. While primarily didactic in presentation, this symposium also includes case studies, and audience activities designed to highlight the challenges of caring for this population, and improve understanding of their needs.
Presenters:
Susan Landon, LMFT, is the director of the Child and Adolescent Center at the Los Angeles Gender Center. Ms. Landon has been providing mental health services for children, adolescents and their families for 25 yrs, and for transgender individuals for the past 10 years.

She is an expert in child development, with extensive experience assisting youth and young adults through gender transition.
Aydin Olson-Kennedy, MSW, ACSW is the founder of Stonewall Counseling Center in Chico, California that was developed to provide no-cost mental health services for LGBTQ youth and adults.
