Gender Affirming Care

In our first episode of Season 2, we discuss gender affirming care for transgender youth with experts Renee Reopell, LCSW and Patrick Herron, DBe. The issues we explore include the discrimination, disparities in healthcare, mental illness and challenging ethical issues around medical care that non-binary youth continue to face today. Our guests also discuss their experiences educating the next generation of physicians to create inclusive and affirming clinical environments for all youth and adults.Additional Resources:American Academy of Pediatrics on the Care of Transgender and Gender Diverse Children and Adolescents https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/142/4/e20182162/37381/Ensuring-Comprehensive-Care-and-Support-forDr. Angela Kade Goepferd – The revolutionary truth about kids and gender identity (~17min) posted by Tedx Minneapolis.
