I was asked to speak on the topic, and while I understand that the request was geared more towards a “specific populations and circumstances” kind of talk, I decided to take it in a slightly [...]

So a quick post about an upcoming webinar on a topic not widely covered: FORGE is offering a session, Disability and Transgender Survivors: Empowering Providers Who Work with Multiply Marginalized Populations.

As it turns out, there were some pretty insightful pieces written on Aurora, mainly on the need for gun control.

This month feels particularly useful, especially if you’re a pediatrics person. As always, this is not a comprehensive overview of what’s newly out, but it is a good selection of late November and December articles [...]
