By drawing on the experience of trans people who are affected by physical disability, chronic illness and mental illness, this book is the definitive guide on providing best practise in approaches to health and care policy. Suggesting solutions to areas where understanding and care provision is poor, Kermode gives advice on topics such as transitioning with a disability, sex-specific service provision and fertility and reproduction. The book also examines how health and care professionals can adapt to cater for transgender and non-binary people's needs and can support those who must use health services due to their condition. Written in an accessible and comprehensive manner, Supporting Transgender and Non-Binary People with Disabilities or Illnesses is an essential guide for practitioners in health and social care positions.

This text addresses the specific lack of clinical educational support for transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) individuals as they age. Chapters are written by multidisciplinary healthcare experts who present topical discussions in five critical areas: essential foundational information needed to understand the life experience of older TGNC people; mental and behavioral health issues; social service considerations; specific concerns for nurses; and unique long-term medical concerns for providers. In addition, special attention is placed on providing care for TGNC veteran populations, including strategies to access social services and Social Security, and developing support networks. Transgender Health and Aging is an excellent resource for clinical and research professionals from a variety of medical disciplines, including geriatricians, primary care physicians, psychiatrists, public health officials, social workers, nurses as well as nonprofessional audiences interested in transgender healthcare in older adults.

This book examines issues across the lifespan of transgender and nonbinary individuals whilst synthesizing conceptual work, empirical evidence, pedagogical content, educational experiences, and the voices of transgender and nonbinary individuals. It highlights the resilience and resistance of transgender and nonbinary individuals and communities to challenge narratives relying on one-dimensional perspectives of risk and tragic lives. While there is currently unprecedented visibility and increasing support, members of these communities still face shockingly high rates of violence, victimization, unemployment, discrimination, and family rejection. Significant need for services and support coupled with social, clinical, and medical service systems ill-equipped to provide culturally responsive care illustrates the critical need for quality education and training of educators, practitioners, and service providers in best practices of working with members of the transgender and nonbinary community. Organized into six sections: Health Areas of Practice Coming Out and Family Relationships and Sexuality Communities Multiply Marginalized Identities and Populations, this book offers a current, comprehensive, and intersectional guide for students, practitioners, and researchers across a variety of professions, including social work, psychology, public policy, and health care.

There are approximately 26,600 students of public higher education in the United States of America who identify as transgender/gender nonbinary and have at least one disability. Research has focused on these two marginalized identities (i.e., gender identity, disability status) separately for college students, and there is sparse research regarding the experiences of students for whom these two identities intersect. This study addressed the gap in research by exploring which best practices used by disability support services (DSS) providers and administrators led to student academic success and elicited feedback on the best practices from these students. A survey of questions was created based upon previous research regarding the academic success of college students with disabilities and proposed best practices for supporting this group of students. Survey responses were received from recent students (n = 89) of public higher education who identified as transgender/gender nonbinary and had at least one disability. The results indicate that the majority of participants contacted disability support services at their public university or college. A relationship between contacting DSS providers and administrators and academic success was not found to be statistically significant. Additionally, the relationship between receiving accommodations from DSS providers and administrators and academic success was not found to be statistically significant. Further results demonstrated a significant association only between academic success and three practices: (1) DSS providers and administrators offering to connect students with career counseling or other vocational supports, (2) DSS providers and administrators ensuring participants' inclusion in campus activities and groups, and (3) DSS providers and administrators ensuring that school facilities are accessible for students. Finally, the best practice endorsed by the most participants was hiring staff who openly identify as having a disability. Qualitative responses from students indicated a need for responsiveness, advocacy, and accessibility from DSS providers and administrators. Limitations of this study include new instrumentation with a need for more validity and reliability information; a relatively small sample size with no demographic information gathered; and the effects of current events. Implications for DSS providers and administrators, counselor educators, and future research conclude the study.

How can you build unshakable confidence and resilience in a world still filled with ignorance, inequality, and discrimination? The Queer and Transgender Resilience Workbook will teach you how to challenge internalized negative messages, handle stress, build a community of support, and embrace your true self. Resilience is a key ingredient for psychological health and wellness. It’s what gives people the psychological strength to cope with everyday stress, as well as major setbacks. For many people, stressful events may include job loss, financial problems, illness, natural disasters, medical emergencies, divorce, or the death of a loved one. But if you are queer or gender non-conforming, life stresses may also include discrimination in housing and health care, employment barriers, homelessness, family rejection, physical attacks or threats, and general unfair treatment and oppression—all of which lead to overwhelming feelings of hopelessness and powerlessness. So, how can you gain resilience in a society that is so often toxic and unwelcoming? In this important workbook, you’ll discover how to cultivate the key components of resilience: holding a positive view of yourself and your abilities; knowing your worth and cultivating a strong sense of self-esteem; effectively utilizing resources; being assertive and creating a support community; fostering hope and growth within yourself, and finding the strength to help others. Once you know how to tap into your personal resilience, you’ll have an unlimited well you can draw from to navigate everyday challenges. By learning to challenge internalized negative messages and remove obstacles from your life, you can build the resilience you need to embrace your truest self in an imperfect world.
