Supporting Couples in Transition

Description

Couples in which one of the partners comes-out as transgender or non-binary sometimes face significant challenges. This training highlights not only the crisis that this self-affirming process can generate, but also the strengths and resilience that can develop as the couple moves towards the integration of this new reality. In the context of parenthood, the fear of negative impacts on children is an important issue within the couple and will be addressed from a developmental perspective.
