Suicide Prevention for Transgender and Gender-Diverse Youth: An Affirming, Interprofessional Approach

About this course

Transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) youth face suicide risk that is both dramatically elevated and clinically distinct from what many providers are trained to recognize, following a compressed pathway from ideation to attempt and a risk window that extends well beyond adolescence. This continuing education course equips healthcare and mental health professionals with the current, evidence-based knowledge needed to identify TGD-specific risk factors and warning signs, apply validated screening tools, and deliver gender-affirming, culturally responsive care. Grounded in the latest population research, the course covers protective factors that meaningfully reduce risk, the realities of conversion practices and provider knowledge gaps that drive healthcare avoidance, and what genuine interprofessional collaboration across medical, mental health, and educational settings looks like in practice. Participants leave with practical, immediately applicable tools for suicide prevention and gender-affirming care with transgender and gender-diverse youth.

What you will learn

At the completion of this activity, healthcare providers will be able to:

  • Identify risk factors associated with suicide among transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) youth.
  • Recognize warning signs and indicators of suicidal ideation and behavior in TGD youth.
  • Describe evidence-based screening and intervention strategies for suicide prevention in TGD youth.
  • Apply gender-affirming, culturally responsive approaches to suicide prevention care for TGD youth.
  • Explain how interprofessional collaboration and communication contribute to suicide prevention efforts for TGD youth across care settings.
