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)
