2 CE's included for mental health providers in ticket price. Speakers: Jennifer Evans, PsyD & Simone Chriss, JD, Esq As the legal landscape of transgender healthcare continues to move toward further restricting transgender people’s access to care, the number of barriers impeding access to gender affirming medical care increase (especially for minors). This presentation will provide a brief overview of the legal landscape of trans healthcare in Florida (via a pre-recorded video by Simone Chriss of Southern Legal Counsel). It will also familiarize participants with the biopsychosocial assessment and letter-writing process for gender affirming hormonal and surgical interventions (in a manner that aligns with the Florida Boards of Medicine criteria as well as the WPATH Standards of Care 8). Target Audience: mental health providers (psychologists, psychiatrists, marriage and family therapists, mental health counselors, social workers, and interns), medical providers who would benefit from understanding more about letters.
