Explores the interdisciplinary field of
scholarship that explores best practices in
working with transgender and gender diverse
clients (TGDCs) experiencing eating disorders
and/or disordered eating (Eds/DE). This course
will also include an introduction to understanding
the intersections of TGDCs, neurodivergence and
EDs/DE. Ultimately, this course will explore the
prevalence of EDs/DE in transgender communities,
address gaps in current models based on cisgender
populations, and provide TGD and neurodivergent
affirming considerations that reduce barriers to
care, and increase and provide ethical, competent,
and gender-affirming care for all gender diverse
clients.

Welcome to our September 2024 Clinical Supervision for Professional Counselors 30 hour training!  All the materials for our four-day training will be available for your review, so please feel free to read ahead if you'd like.  Our training will be distance-based, and consist of both live Zoom and "off-line" Moodle assignments, each of which we'll review and clarify along the way. 

This training is designed to be both educational and interactive, with a high level of trainee participation encouraged!  Feedback from recent Zoom trainings have helped shape this course into a (hopefully) well-paced and user-friendly experience, while still capturing all of the essential elements of the full clinical supervision training.

I look forward to meeting each of you during our first morning of introductions.  After a brief survey of your accumulated supervisory experiences, we will move into our training activities.  Thank you in advance for your engagement and participation.  "See" you on  Thursday, September 19, 2024 at 8:30 am!
