By the end of this interactive discussion we hope that you will have a better understanding of the discrimination, trauma and victimisation of gender non-conforming clients, the issues with transgender medicare, and how you can have a more diverse and inclusive practice with an increased compassion for protected identities.They welcome comments and questions and look forward to seeing you then!
