The Monterey Behavioral Health Gender Care Training is a comprehensive series of workshops designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of medical and mental health professionals, educators, and community members in supporting transgender and gender diverse youth and their families. Through this series, participants will build a strong foundation in gender literacy, medical support, and developmental understanding of gender, enabling them to provide the highest standard of culturally attuned, education, medical, and mental health care for gender diverse young people and their families. Sessions will cover crucial topics related to gender diversity and integrating perspectives from youth, parents, and families.

Empowering Communities, Enhancing Care, Celebrating Diversity

These workshops offer an invaluable opportunity for health care professionals and educators to enhance their skills, expand their knowledge, and contribute to a more inclusive and affirming society for all youth, regardless of their gender identity or expression.
