<H2>The Gender Spectrum in Group Therapy AGPS Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity Committee </H2>
The theory and practice of group therapy has historically been based in the gender binary. In 2019, Merriam-Webster added the use of "they" as a singular pronoun, yet many group therapists continue to recruit "men and women” for their groups.  She/her, he/him, they/them, ze/hir, genderqueer, agender-- gender creativity is endless.
This dialogue will help participants explore the gender spectrum and how to provide a healing experience for all. We'll hold space for unpacking our own socialization, biases and countertransferences. Best practices for gender affirming care will be provided, and the interplay of group dynamics and gender identity will be explored.
Non-alcoholic beverages and light snacks will be offered.
Charge:  There is no charge for this event.
Note:  All therapists and students in the therapy field are welcome. Hosted by:  AGPS Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity Committee and facilitated by Neathery Thurmond, LCSW-S, CGP
