Transgender, Nonbinary, and Gender-Diverse Patients of the Pacific Northwest
Two and a half hours (including built in breaks) of material specific to transgender culture and patient needs in the PNW. This content is designed for current or future clinicians and other professionals who work with patients. The format includes lecture, small group activities, introspection prompts, and Q&A, and covers a wide range of material specific to transgender, nonbinary, and gender diverse patients who are part of the PNW community. “Gender Diverse Patients of the Pacific Northwest” has no cap on participants.
This workshop can be done all at once as a 150-minute intensive talk sprinkled with the above activities, or spread out into three 90-minute discussion-based sessions. Both formats use small group activities.

Material is applicable to everything from casual conversation to professional emails.
“Gender-Neutral Language Techniques for English” caps at 25 participants. This workshop relies heavily on small group activities and must be presented in person or using software that has breakout rooms.
