2019 GSDI Transgender Provider Resource List

The Gender and Sexual Diversity Program (GSDP) addresses the current lack of inclusive services for trans and gender diverse clients, sharing best practice information for anyone working with the LGBTQ+ community.

Dynamic, interactive and instructive, our GSDP trainings educate participants on best practices for working with queer and trans individuals. From social service and health care providers, to everyday workplace employees, our goal is to increase equity and bolster support systems for LGBTQ+ communities in their everyday environments by fostering understanding, imparting knowledge, and providing strategies for creating inclusive and affirming environments.

GSDP Trainings For Healthcare Providers:

We focus on how sexual identities and gender diversity present themselves in healthcare, common concerns that may be experienced or presented by LGBTQ+ patients, and how to make your clinical environment more inclusive and supportive. Our dynamic trainings educate participants on diverse experiences of sexual orientation and gender, recommend language and review relevant NC laws.
