Description:

Summary:

The TGI Cultural Competence in Behavioral Health Service Provision is developed and conducted by The TransLatin@Coalition Institute, a nationally recognized organization founded by and for Transgender, Gender Diverse, and Intersex (TGI) people that is dedicated to creating systemic change through education, advocacy, and community empowerment. California is home to nearly 100,000 transgender and gender-expansive people. California Senate Bill 923 presents SAPC treatment provider agency staff with the opportunity to focus on elevating the quality of substance use disorder service provision for its transgender, gender-expansive, and intersex (TGI) members. This training is designed to enhance the capabilities of SAPC provider agency staff in working and interacting with TGI individuals in a way that supports a sense of belonging and fulfills compliance with California Senate Bill 923.

Objectives:

At the conclusion of the training, participants will be able to: 1. Apply at least two culturally competent strategies or frameworks for case formulation tailored to the behavioral health needs of TGI populations. 2. Identify at least three trauma-informed care principles and describe how they apply when working with TGI clients. 3. Recognize at least three barriers to care that TGI members navigate when accessing behavioral health services. 4. Demonstrate four communication practices for fostering inclusion with TGI communities. 5. Identify at least three areas of opportunity for TGI-inclusive policies and practices within their workplace.

Audience:

MANDATORY for all staff who have direct interaction with clients at SAPC contracted SUD treatment sites.
