Through practical tips, exercises, case studies and self-assessment checklists, this informative guide provides guidance on developing cultural humility, how to acknowledge ancestral and historical trauma, the cultural and spiritual aspects of transition, working with a client's family, creating a welcoming environment, as well as specific advice throughout on supporting older trans people including housing, healthcare, and legal issues.

  • Alex Iantaffi, PhD, MS, LMFT, SEP, CST, co-author of 'How To Understand Your Gender' and 'Life Isn't Binary'

    This book is essential reading for anyone, cis or trans, who works or wants to work therapeutically with trans, gender expansive and/or Two Spirit clients. The author covers transgender care across the lifespan within an anti-racist, intersectional framework. I know I will recommend this book to all my supervisees and to anyone interested in transgender care!"
