2021 Long Island TGNCNB Community Conference

Join us in a welcoming environment for an educational experience on a variety of TGNCNB related health and social topics for both members of the community and their families.

This conference focuses on medical care, social support, and addressing unmet needs on Long island for TGNCNB individuals, both in adolescent and adulthood, as well as parents and guardians of TGNCNB individuals.

The conference will be comprised of three key components: educational sessions by community partners, information on community agencies and their services, and an expert panel discussion and Q&A from specialists at the Center for Transgender Care at Northwell Health.

This year’s TGNCNB Conference will have four unique educational tracks to choose from for the workshops: TGNCNB youth, TGNCNB adults, parents of TGNCNB youth, and allies/service providers. Please feel free to attend a full track or mix and match!
