Gender and Identity Care

Mental health care for gender-diverse populations requires an inclusive, informed, and affirming approach. This session addresses the psychological experiences and challenges of individuals across the gender and sexual identity spectrum, including transgender, non-binary, and LGBTQ+ communities. Topics include the impact of gender dysphoria, societal stigma, minority stress, and barriers to affirming care. Clinicians are guided through the best practices for assessment, diagnosis, and therapeutic engagement that respect identity and foster trust. The session also highlights the role of affirmative therapies, peer support models, and integrated services that promote resilience and mental well-being. Current research on identity development, transition-related care, and associated mental health outcomes is reviewed. Legal and ethical aspects, including confidentiality, informed consent, and advocacy in hostile environments, are discussed. Emphasis is placed on dismantling systemic bias and cultivating cultural competence within clinical and institutional settings. Through a strengths-based lens, this topic champions equity, self-determination, and mental health as fundamental rights for all individuals.
