Outside the Box: Diversity, Language, and Barriers Facing the Transgender Population (ID 332)

Presenters
  • N. CANNON
Session Description
The transgender population continues to experience disproportionately high rates of suicide and mental health challenges, addiction, criminal justice system involvement, and barriers to equal healthcare. This session will address the various disparities facing this increasingly large group of individuals. Interweaving a larger discussion of both the language and practice surrounding diversity and inclusion with his personal experiences living as a transgender man with an invisible disability, Nate Cannon will offer tips and guidance for working with this traditionally underserved group (and deliver a dose of inspiration and humor).
