Let's Talk About Gender

Transphobia continues to drive health disparities and create barriers to care. For transgender and gender non-conforming people (TGNC), these disparities can negatively impact all aspects of a client's or patient's health, delay or postpone care, and increase medical distrust.


The Let's Talk About Gender course is designed for community health workers (CHWs) seeking to increase their knowledge and skills when working with TGNC clients and patients. The tools learned in this series will build trust, understanding, and safety for TGNC clients and patients. The course is provided free of charge - click the Enroll in the Training button below to get started!
