Real Talk with Parents of Transgender Children: A Moderated Panel for Pediatric Nurses

Presenter: Ellen Kahn (she/her), HCR, Senior Vice President, Equality Programs

Join the Society of Pediatric Nurses (SPN) and the Human Rights Campaign Foundation (HRCF) for an engaging activity intended to strengthen pediatric nurses’ ability to support transgender youth and their families.

This 90-minute event begins with a brief overview of policy and research affecting transgender youth, followed by personal stories from parents of transgender children who will share their experiences navigating healthcare systems and supporting their children’s gender journeys. As access to gender-affirming care continues to change across the country, there will be a moderated panel discussion and an audience-led Q&A. Participants will gain valuable insights into the impact of healthcare interactions on transgender patients and their families.

Attendees will learn strategies for building trust, offering emotional support, and connecting families with resources to help them through these difficult times. This discussion with parents, along with a new guide and resources from the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, can position you and your practice to be more responsive to and effective with this patient population.

Outcome: 85% of participants will report having gained at least one strategy for building trust, offering emotional support, or connecting with families, based on knowledge gained from the activity.
