Hello, friends!

It's time to RSVP for our LGBTQ SIG on Feb. 11th at noon, offered online. You don't want to miss Dr. Olson-Kennedy as he brings enormous experience working with family members of trans/nonbinary young people and adults, as well as with trans/NB folks themselves. His expertise will be invaluable as he provides insights into how to come alongside your clients who be struggling with trans children, family members, or friends. Please see more info below.

CLICK HERE TO RSVP - a Google Meet link will be sent to respondents two days before the event. 

See you there!

He regularly partners with nonprofits, schools, healthcare organizations, and community programs to deliver trainings that strengthen providers’ capacity to offer affirming, accountable, and culturally responsive care.
