This trial is for English-speaking mental health providers working with youth aged 12-25, gender minority youth (GMY) within the same age range receiving services at the pilot site, and their caregivers. Providers must be employed by the pilot site. GMY and caregivers must also identify as a gender minority.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to develop and test a training program called Gender-Affirming Psychotherapy (GAP) Training for mental health professionals. It will evaluate if this training can improve care for gender minority youth through an open trial before moving on to a larger randomized controlled trial.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
