Providing Care and Support for Transgender Rural Latino/as and Migrant Farmworkers

This webinar represents a unique opportunity to learn about the health and support needs of transgender Latino/a migrant farmworkers and other rural Latino/a transgender persons. Dr. Jennifer Hastings of Planned Parenthood Mar Monte and Anna Rick of California Rural Legal Assistance, who both have extensive first-hand experience in caring for and assisting these populations, lead participants in understanding aspects of the life and health care experiences of their transgender patients and clients. Webinar participants will also learn methods for asking appropriate, sensitive questions about gender identity concerns, and strategies for providing sensitive, inclusive care based on cultural humility. Dr. Hastings and Ms. Rick will also explain their model of inter-agency collaboration that works to help clients find legal and community supports to enhance their health and well-being. This webinar is a collaboration of Farmworker Justice and the National LGBT Health Education Center, both National Cooperative Agreements with the Health Resources and Services Administration of the Bureau of Primary Health Care.
