I love that the US Department of Health and Human Services is hosting this webinar (as part of Healthy People 2020): Spotlight on LGBT Health: Transgender Health Issues. If your knowledge of how to best assess and care for transgender patients is lacking, this looks like it will help fill the gap. The webinar will be held May 8th from 1-2:30 EDT. You can register here.
The National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center is hosting a webinar on May 9th from 1-2:30 MDT, Legal Barriers to Justice for Native Women. From the site:
Federal law prohibits tribal governments from prosecuting non-Native offenders, and only allows tribal governments to punish Native people for minor offenses. This lack of serious enforcement authority goes to the systemic root of the problem for tribal governments and Native non-profit organizations working to end violence against Native women in their communities.
