We're thrilled to announce our new free online course "Gates & Gatekeepers" - a heartfelt initiative to transform how mental health professionals support our transgender and gender-expansive community members. Through engaging video lectures, practical templates, and collaborative exercises, we'll explore ways to move beyond traditional gatekeeping towards becoming caring advocates in gender-affirming care. Join us in building a more compassionate, accessible pathway to care for our trans community.
