However, many of us may still not understand what it means to live in a gender-expansive society and to care for gender-diverse youth. This program will reframe traditional understandings of gender, build a deeper understanding of gender-diverse individuals and the LGBTQIA+ community, and offer everyday skills to navigate a gender-expansive world. May 16 from 12pm-1pm https://cornell.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0lduivqzwqGdPlu1G2BFy8z9CIuBAwCZAi PART 2: This program is a follow-up to Part 1, designed specifically for parents and caregivers of gender-diverse youth. Research has emphasized the immense importance of family support for outcomes of gender-diverse youth, but what does “support” look like? Participants will review the protective role of family support and concrete strategies for supporting gender-diverse loved ones while taking care of themselves.
