Expert Trainer: Gender Affirming FNE Care: Forensic Considerations in Caring for Transgender and Non-binary Survivors

About the Training:

This training will provide a brief overview of intimate partner and sexual violence in the LGBTQ+ community. This training will discuss important terminology and language considerations when working with transgender and non-binary survivors and how to develop an understanding of the barriers that these individuals experience when attempting to access care.

The learning outcomes for this training include

  • Understanding gender-affirming care/therapies,
  • Approaches to conducting forensic exams/physical exams with transgender and non-binary survivors, and
  • Population-specific concerns and medical considerations.
