Adapting Evidence-Based Practices for Gender Diverse Youth in Outpatient Mental Health Settings
Gender diverse youth experience elevated mental health symptoms relative to their cisgender peers and early medical intervention and mental health support improve outcomes (Edwards-Leeper, Feldman, Lash, Shumer, & Tishelman, 2017). Many evidence-based practices have been identified for working with youth who have a variety of mental health concerns (https://www.samhsa.gov/resource-search/ebp) and recent research suggests a need for adapting these practices in order to meet the needs of gender diverse youth (Austin & Craig, 2015).  This presentation is aimed at clinicians who have training or expertise in using evidence-based psychological treatments for youth and are interested in providing gender-affirming care targeting depression, anxiety, self-harm, and other common co-occurring mental health symptoms. We will briefly review terms, gender-affirming medical interventions, and recommendations from national and international health organizations regarding provision of these services to youth. We will discuss research on gender identity development in childhood and adolescence (Spencer, Berg, Bradford, Vencill, Tellawi, & Rider, 2021) and the clinician’s role in supporting identity development. Finally, we will examine clinical considerations for working with this population, including individual, family, and social factors (Leibowitz & Janssen, 2018) that can impact treatment targets and explore how existing skills in family and individual therapy can address those factors.

Learning Objectives: 
By completing this program, participants will able to:
1.  summarize research on gender identity development in childhood and adolescence.
2.  develop treatment targets appropriate for gender diverse youth. 
3.  adapt existing evidence-based clinical skills to address mental health needs of gender diverse youth.

Presenter Bios:  Melissa K Hord, PhD, HSPP and Amanda V Broderick, PhD, HSPP
Melissa K Hord, PhD, HSPP and Amanda V Broderick, PhD, HSPP are clinical-track faculty at Indiana University School of Medicine, serving as Assistant Professors of Clinical Psychiatry. As clinicians at the Riley Hospital for Child and Adolescent Outpatient Psychiatry Clinic, Drs. Hord and Broderick provide evidence-based assessment and treatment to youth who are diagnosed with a wide array of psychological disorders including anxiety, depression, disruptive behavior, substance use, ADHD, Tourette's, compulsive behavior, and self-harm behaviors. Among the youth who they treat, the population of youth with gender dysphoria has been increasing. Drs. Hord and Broderick recognized the need for more specialized treatment for this population and the need to communicate the considerations and adaptations to evidence based practice to more clinicians in order to broaden access to care for gender diverse youth.
