Resource Roadmap SMC: A Service Provider’s Guide to Supporting Transgender & Gender Diverse Clients

Wednesday June 22nd from 2pm-4pm PST

Are you a service provider who wants to learn how to better support clients who are transgender, nonbinary, or gender diverse? Join us for this free and comprehensive capacity-building workshop led by our Health Equity Coordinator, Alex Golding. Together, we will cover relevant tips and strategies to help you and your clients navigate different resources across San Mateo County (housing, health & wellness, employment, legal, social, and more). We will also hold space to discuss ways that we as providers can begin to identify, address, and overcome any judgments and biases we may have that can impact our work with the transgender and gender diverse community. There will be an interactive presentation followed by an in-depth Q&A. Registration link: tinyurl.com/provider-roadmap-june2022

Intended audience: Case Managers/Social Workers, Healthcare professionals, Mental Health Clinicians, Peer Support/Community Workers Please contact alex.golding@sanmateopride.org with any questions.
