Transgender people face significant stigma, resulting in mental health disparities. The goal of this webinar is to help mental health providers/trainees better understand stigma toward the transgender community and how it impacts mental health. There will be a special focus on intersectional transgender stigma and evidence-based practices to reduce such stigma (among the general public and in clinical settings). Direct instruction and videos will be used to support this webinar, and tools and resources will be shared with participants during the event.
