Transcend and Transverse Conference

March 20, 2020 @ 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM

Trans and Gender Non-Conforming Needs
in the Central Valley and Beyond

This is the 3rd annual Transcend-Transverse Conference sponsored by California State University, Stanislaus. This conference is focused on professional development for educators, social workers, counselors and community professionals to increase their knowledge, skills, and awareness of transgender and gender-nonconforming youth. Transgender youth face profound challenges and experiences striking disparities in areas such as quality of education, access to health care services, mental health care and other areas of livelihood. Research reveals that many trans youth and young trans adults routinely encounter an educational and health care system that is ill-prepared to provide culturally competent care and services and create environments that affirm the gender identities and expressions of trans youth.
