Transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) individuals experience disproportionately high rates of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation. Research shows that access to gender-affirming care significantly reduces these risks and supports positive psychosocial outcomes. Since 2021, however, a growing number of U.S. states have introduced or enacted legislation restricting access to gender-affirming medical and mental health services, creating complex ethical and legal challenges for social workers—including social workers in states that do not have such restrictive laws. This interactive webinar will examine these emerging challenges and offer practical guidance for ethically serving TGD clients in increasingly restrictive environments. Participants will explore key issues related to client autonomy, confidentiality and privacy, documentation practices, interprofessional relationships, legal compliance, risk management, and equitable access to care. Through case examples and discussion, social workers will develop strategies to uphold ethical standards while navigating conflicting legal mandates and advocating for client well-being.
Learning objectives:
- Describe how recent laws restricting access to gender-affirming care affect transgender and gender-diverse youth and adults.
- Critically analyze ethical dilemmas related to legislative restrictions to gender-affirming care in relation to the principles of beneficence, nonmaleficence, autonomy, justice, integrity, consent/assent, and cultural humility.
- Brainstorm options in relation to advocacy, referrals, psychoeducation, record keeping, legal compliance, and problem-solving for clients who are unable to access gender-affirming care in their states.
