Allsorts Youth Project has revealed the September date of their training course, Understanding and Supporting Trans and Gender-Exploring Children & Young People, which will explore the issues and challenges that trans and gender-exploring children and young people face, how their mental health and wellbeing are impacted by these challenges, and how best to support them.
The course will explore ways to increase your confidence in supporting trans and gender-exploring children and young people to develop a strong sense of identity in the face of multiple marginalisations.
