Not "Getting Through"? How to Communicate with Gender-Questioning Adolescents

CME Credits Now Available

How can parents and clinicians effectively communicate with adolescents experiencing gender dysphoria when traditional approaches often fail? We're pleased to announce that psychotherapist Sasha Ayad's insightful presentation from our Bigger Picture Lisbon conference is now CME accredited.

Drawing on her experience with over 900 families, Ayad provides practical communication strategies that clinicians can use directly and teach to parents. Her eleven communication principles emphasize relationship-building, heartfelt honesty, and encouraging critical thinking without undermining trust.

Particularly valuable is Ayad's guidance on helping adolescents develop a broader self-concept, reminding us that "a good life is built outside of identity labels." This CME-accredited presentation equips healthcare professionals with essential skills to support families navigating these complex conversations.
