The Transgender Institute will be holding a series of webinars devoted to the clinician who would like to explore entering the transgender therapeutic field and to the gender therapist who would like to further his/her expertise, in particular with complicated cases. The webinars will begin in the Fall. CEUs will be offered. More information regarding registration and content will be available shortly.

Our big news is that on May 18th and 19th of 2014, The Transgender Institute will present Against All Odds, its First Annual Symposium and Conference.

We are inviting both established gender therapists who want to update and fine-tune their skills, and beginning clinicians and students who would like to specialize in gender therapy to attend. Gender Certification through the Transgender Institute and CEUs will be available at the event. The conference will include many workshops for transgender individuals and their friends, families and allies. This 2-day event will conclude with a gala banquet and dance.
