Expanding gender-affirmative care in NH through training, resource-sharing, consultation, and advocacy

Upcoming conferences on transgender communities

Fenway Health’s annual Advancing Excellence in Transgender Health takes place October 27-29 this year. The conference was developed in response to the high volume of queries from clinicians and health care staff seeking to learn about providing high-quality care for adults, adolescents, and children who are questioning their gender identity or who identify as transgender or gender-diverse (TGD).

This conference is designed to train the whole health care team in providing responsive and confident gender-affirmative health care, grounded in research evidence and best clinical practices. Sessions are led by expert faculty specialized in TGD focused research and patient care. The conference is appropriate for all members of health care teams, including physicians, behavioral health care providers, physician assistants, nurses, and other staff.

Harvard’s Trans+ Community Celebration takes place on October 6th and 7th. Their about us explains: We were developed when some members of our community saw a need to celebrate our joy and existence. We were so inspired by the work of the Association of Black Harvard Women and their annual vigil, and wanted to create an event that honors our lives as much as theirs does.

We quickly realized that many Trans+ young folks don’t know Trans+ adults and elders, nor do they know a lot of Trans+ people of different race, gender, sexuality, and financial resources. We want to build spaces where we are stronger for our diversity and can center the needs of our most marginalized community members.
