Transgender Clients: Assessment and Planning for Gender-affirming Surgeries
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Quality "letters" start with quality assessments and planning. In this course, participants will learn how to collaborate with and prepare clients for transgender-affirming surgery using a comprehensive assessment to screen for biopsychosocial factors that can complicate, or be complicated by, surgery and perioperative care; create a holistic treatment recommendation; and support clients through the steps of surgical preparation and recovery.  Participants will be exposed to the fundamental dynamics of each gender-affirming surgery that is covered by insurance.

TARGET AUDIENCE: licensed and unlicensed LPC, LCSW, LMFT, PsyD providers
PREREQUISITE KNOWLEDGE: competence and experience working with transgender and non-binary clients

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Define WPATH, insurance, and surgeon requirements for quality letters and assessments.
Present the purpose and rationale of an assessment to a client.
Conduct a thorough mental health assessment for gender affirming surgery.
Present the expectations for chest reconstruction, breast augmentation, metoidioplasty, orchiectomy, hysterectomy/oophorectomy, phalloplasty, electrolysis, vaginoplasty, and facial feminization surgeries.
Have concrete tools for preparing clients for surgery.
Write a comprehensive letter of support that is consistent with WPATH standards of care, insurance and surgeons criteria, and includes a surgery preparation treatment plan.

TRAINING MODALITIES
During this training, participants will engage in didactic presentation, self-reflection, case reviews, mock treatment planning, videos of clients experiences, and paired role-play. After the training, participants pursuing CEU credit are expected to attend 1-3 Brave Space consultations to discuss actual client cases, and will receive review and feedback on 3 referral letters.  Those who complete all parts of the training will be added to a vetted list of providers shared by Brave Space and community medical providers.

Participants will gain access to the Brave Space Surgery Planning Guide, a helpful tool for perioperative planning, quality letter and assessment templates, and the Powerpoint slide for future reference.
