A Morning on Gender Diversity with Chai-Yoel Korn 

“It doesn’t really matter what a person decides to do, or how radically a person plays with gender. What matters, I think, is how aware a person is of the options.”  Kate Bornstein, author of Gender Outlaw: On Men, Women, and the Rest of Us

This workshop is for everyone interested in developing their knowledge and skills in working with transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse community members. Chai-Yoel will share some best practices and offer an intersectional approach to working therapeutically with gender-diverse communities.

Date: 15th October 2022

Location: Online over Zoom

Cost: £35 (Early-Bird £30 available until 11 Sept 2022). Concessions available. 

Chai-Yoel asks us to adopt the spirit of kindness and compassion. We will create a safe space together for mutual learning.

We will explore the following themes:

• gender, sex, and sexual orientation
• barriers to services and increased vulnerability
• intersectionality
• the lived experience of trans people through case studies
