What does it really take to get gender-affirming surgery, and how can we better support the folks navigating that process?

For many trans people, surgery can be an important part of their gender journey. But getting there can come with questions, requirements, barriers, and a recovery process that can feel overwhelming.

So what should you know before surgery? What can recovery look like? And how can friends, family, and community members show up along the way?

Join us at the LGBTQ+ Health & Wellness Conference on Saturday, September 26th, in Des Moines to learn more!

This session is for anyone interested in gender-affirming surgery, whether you’re considering surgery yourself or supporting someone who is.

What if we thought about gender not just as a label but as an adverb?

Gender is often understood through labels and definitions, but our experiences of gender can be far more dynamic and complex. Understanding gender through the lenses of science, language, culture, and social cognition can help us better understand ourselves and support others.

So how can we move beyond labels to better understand gender and support people through the different stages of human growth and development?

Join us at the LGBTQ+ Health & Wellness Conference on Saturday, September 26th, in Des Moines to learn more!

Whether you’re part of the LGBTQ+ community, a health care provider, a mental health professional, an advocate, or simply want to deepen your understanding of gender, this session is for you.

Research shows that LGBTQ+ people experience higher rates of OCD and anxiety disorders compared with the general population. Minority stress and other systemic factors can increase risk, while concerns about discrimination and other barriers can make accessing affirming, quality mental health care more difficult.

So how do we better recognize OCD and anxiety in LGBTQ+ communities and make sure people can access effective, evidence-based, affirming care?

Join us at the LGBTQ+ Health & Wellness Conference on Saturday, September 26th in Des Moines to learn more!

This breakout session explores what OCD and anxiety can look like in LGBTQ+ communities, why LGBTQ+ individuals may be at greater risk, and how these disorders can uniquely impact their lives.

Whether you’re part of the LGBTQ+ community, a mental health therapist, a health care provider, an advocate, or simply want to learn more, this session is for you.
