Workshop: Gender Diversity Education for Counsellors BCACC Region 2 Workshop – Victoria, BC

Gender Diversity Education for Counsellors

Presented by Alyx MacAdams and Kingsley Strudwick

Diverse gender expression and exploration are valuable elements of our ever-evolving communities. It is important for counsellors to embrace and adapt to these cultural shifts and to understand the challenges and excitements that trans, non-binary, and Two-Spirit clients and their families may experience.

What you will learn

Alyx MacAdams and Kingsley Strudwick will introduce frameworks for understanding gender beyond the binary, offer space to practice new language, and explore strategies for applying these learnings on an individual, relational, and systemic level.
