Gender influences more than identity—it shapes how symptoms appear, how patients are treated, and how care is delivered.
Join Roberto Olivardia, PhD, for this free, expert-led 60-minute training exploring how gender concepts intersect with modern mental health practice and what inclusive care looks like today.
Why This Training Matters
Gender is woven into every layer of care—from assessment tools to therapeutic rapport. Yet, it’s often treated as secondary to other diagnostic factors.
In this interactive training, Dr. Olivardia explores how gender norms and expectations impact help-seeking behaviors, clinician assumptions, and treatment outcomes.
Attendees will leave with practical strategies to identify blind spots, challenge bias, and strengthen communication with clients of all gender identities.
