This interactive training will cover recent legislation, strategies for addressing misinformation, and best practices for creating safer, affirming spaces in clinical and community settings for youth. Attendees will participate in breakout sessions with role-playing exercises to practice conversations with patients, families, and colleagues.

2. Utilize up-to-date information to assess the effects of legislation against gender-affirming care.
