Therapy notes don’t exist in a vacuum, especially now. Oppressive laws, surveillance, and political violence increase risk for our clients (especially trans, immigrant, and other marginalized folx) and how we document MATTERS.

This training is about protecting clients and yourself by writing clear, ethical, intentional notes and treatment plans.

Join us this Friday (1/23/26) for Trans Advocacy: Writing Letters for Gender-affirming Care!

This live, interactive webinar focuses on writing strong, ethical, and affirming letters that support access to gender-affirming care while navigating evolving standards, insurance requirements, and institutional barriers. We’ll talk about how to write letters that hold up under scrutiny without replicating harm, gatekeeping, or unnecessary pathologizing.

This training is for you if you:

- work with trans and gender-diverse clients
- are being asked to write letters in an increasingly hostile climate
- want your advocacy to be effective and aligned with your values

Plus, you'll get personalized letter templates, 30-day access to the training materials, and 2.0 Ethics CEUs. All for just $50!
