Upcoming PCGS Workshops & Modules
Online via Zoom
D. M. Maynard will explain the components of her Reflective Workbook Series and discuss how they can best be used by clinicians and their patients in and out of session. She will engage in a conversation with PCGS’s Allana Stark, LCSW, to review her questioning techniques in order to create a safe space for interviewees to share their personal stories and needs as partners, parents, family members, and educators of trans and/or non-binary people. Lastly, D. M. Maynard will invite attendees to join in a Q&A segment to address any inquiries and contribute their experiences.
