    Creating Brave Spaces for Trans/Non-Binary Children: A Panel Conversation

    TBA

    U.S. legislation targeting transgender and non-binary young people’s health and freedom is at an all-time high. In this fraught context, how do parents and other caregivers support and encourage their children to be their fullest selves, particularly when those children are trans/non-binary? This panel discussion featuring experts in supporting trans/non-binary children and adolescents will explore the challenges of providing nurturing environments during extraordinary political challenges to trans/non-binary rights.

    This panel will feature:

    • Tavi Hawn, LCSW, author of The Gender Identity Guide for Parents: Compassionate Advice to Help Your Child Be Their Most Authentic Self (they/them)
    • Noah Lupica, MD, pediatric resident, Brown University/Hasbro Children’s Hospital, (he/him)
    • Quinten Foster, Director of Transgender Whole Healthcare, East Bay Community Action Program (he/him)
    • Andy Taubman, LCSW, Director of Youth Services (she/they)
    • Nikole Barnes, LICSW, moderator (she/her)

    Free and open to the public. Children welcome. Activities and snacks for children will be available at the event.

    RSVP required.

    This event is organized by the Brown University LGBTQ Center, Pembroke Public Health Collaborative, and the Sarah Doyle Center for Women and Gender with support from the C.V. Starr Foundation Lectureships Fund; Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity; the School of Public Health Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; the Office of Belonging, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, and the Brown University Library.
