As clinicians we always have to be on the lookout for the influence of bias. For those of us who work with minorities gender diverse clients and their families, I believe it’s an ethical imperative. Without this important self-of the therapist work, even the most affirming providers are at risk of engaging in harmful micro-aggressions, moving too slow, or maybe even too fast and losing our clients. This is true for us regardless of our own gender identity.
With the current political landscape, our gender diverse clients are even more traumatized and are on the lookout for subtle (and not so subtle) ways bias may influence the questions you ask, how you approach treatment, and what you think is possible for your clients. I’d like to help you uncover the areas where many of us hold biases around gender diversity and the tools needed to address these biases so you can provide affirming culturally-attuned transgender care that will avoid the ethical pitfalls of unacknowledged bias.
What we will cover:
- The types of bias often present for health care providers working with gender diverse clients and their families
- The common areas of unrecognized bias in gender affirming care
- The potential negative and positive bias in your clinical gender affirming work and how to uncover these
- And tools available for health care providers to help counter and manage them
Learning objectives:
- Describe the impact of unrecognized bias in gender affirming care
- List two areas where negative and positive bias can impact your clinical gender affirming work
- Describe at least one tool available to mental health care providers to counter and manage bias in the therapeutic relationship
- List the three types of explicit bias that mental health care providers need to be aware of when working with gender diverse clients & their families
