Client:  Seeking Foundations Course for Staff Training (Community Housing for People Living with HIV)

Many transgender and non-binary folks, as well as their loved ones, face extensive and severe discrimination, and are particularly vulnerable when accessing community-based services. This training is designed to help client support staff ensure that they are providing respectful services that affirm their transgender and non-binary clients’ experiences. During this three hour session, we will review critical language, barriers to accessing services, and strategies to help support and affirm transgender youth, families, and communities –all through the lens of lived experiences of transgender and non-binary individuals. Case managers will be better prepared to create an affirming and welcoming housing environment for their clients.
