Gender Affirming Care Zoom Group

Description

Why this series matters now

Gender-affirming care has become one of the most misunderstood topics in healthcare and mental health, largely due to an ongoing campaign of misinformation by the current administration. Myths are repeated as facts, fear is used as a political tool, and people are left unsure where to turn for reliable guidance. This series exists to counter that confusion with clarity.

You will explore:

• Myths vs. facts about gender affirming care
• What gender affirming care actually includes (and what it does not)
• How people can access care safely and ethically
• How parents, friends, and family members can offer meaningful support
• Trusted resources for further learning and assistance

Each session is intentionally concise, allowing you to attend without feeling overwhelmed, while still leaving with something concrete and useful.

A Mindful Ecotherapy Approach to Gender Affirming Care

At the Mindful Ecotherapy Center, gender affirming care is understood not just as a set of medical or psychological practices but as part of a broader relationship between people, identity, safety, and environment.

Through a mindfulness-based ecotherapy lens, you explore how:

• Chronic stress, invalidation, and fear impact the nervous system
• Affirmation supports regulation, resilience, and mental wellness
• Safe environments, including social and natural environments, play a role in healing
• Compassionate presence can be as powerful as information

This perspective helps you move beyond reaction and into grounded understanding, whether you are a parent trying to support your child, a partner wanting to show up better, or a professional seeking ethical clarity.

What to expect each week

Each Thursday session will include:

• A focused topic related to gender affirming care
• Clear myth-versus-fact discussions on gender affirming care grounded in current research and standards of care
• Practical guidance on gender affirming care you can actually use
• Time for shared questions and themes from participants

You are also invited to submit questions in advance using the form on the registration page. These questions will be addressed during the first meeting or woven into future sessions as part of the ongoing series. This allows the content to respond directly to the actual struggles people face, rather than hypothetical concerns.
