Title:
Resiliency Factors of Trans-College Students: Implications for Professional Counselors and Higher Education Professionals
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Jane E. Rheineck, PhD and Matt E. Lonski
Description:
This session will examine the resiliency factors and the strategies transgender (trans) college students use to navigate gender-dichotomous collegiate environments. The multiple intersections of college trans* students and their various social identities are highlighted as well as the importance of coping strategies for a successful college experience. One of the presenters identifies as trans* and will share his insights as well as provide first hand suggestions that will inform and assist college counselors, student affairs professionals, faculty, and administrators working with college trans* students. Additional recommendations such as the (un)learning of normative gender constructs, the use of appropriate language in the curricula, and suggestions for providing a safe environment, inside and outside the classroom, will also be explored. Affirmative- and resilience-based counseling and “helping” approaches for working with trans* college students will conclude this training.
Learning Objectives:
1.Awareness and understand the intersection of multiple identities of college trans students.
2.Strategies that trans students use to navigate the campus and the college experience.
3.Begin the process of (un)learning the use of traditional gender constructs.

Title:
The Counseling Experiences of Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Clients
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Rafe McCullough, PhD; Franco Dispenza, PhD; Lindy K. Parker, PhD; Cory J. Viehl, PhD
Description:
The counseling experiences of 13 transgender and gender nonconforming individuals were examined via semi-structured, in-depth interviews. Using multiple standards of trustworthiness (e.g., member checking, negative case analysis), researchers analyzed each interview from an interpretative phenomenological analytic framework. Four main themes were identified: (a) mental health professional selection process, (b) trans-affirmative approach, (c) trans-negative approach, and (d) support systems beyond counseling. Implications for implementing culturally responsive TGNC affirmative counseling, TGNC sensitive counselor training, and social justice oriented research are discussed.
Learning Objectives:
1.Examine transgender and gender-nonconforming clients’ counseling experiences
2.Explore factors that support culturally responsive affirmative counseling for transgender and gender-nonconforming clients

Title:
Trauma Informed Care Across the Lifespan for LGBTQI+ Individuals
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Gerard Lawson, PhD; Jyotsana Sharma, PhD; and Brandy Smith, MAEd

Applications and strategies for clients across the lifespan will be presented.
Learning Objectives:

2.Understand the types of trauma common among LGBTQI+ students.
3.Review trauma informed skills to incorporate into your practice.
