Regardless of training background, setting, degree status, licensure, and location* (trainees welcome!)
*Prerequisite recommendation: If you do not have Trans GAS 101 baseline experience, training, and/or understanding of the surgery assessment process and letter writing, please consider viewing this free 45-min webinar with Sarah Eley via the Fenway Institute, or register for the recording from addyson's prior Learn and Grow, an overview of the GAS process.
WHAT:
Identify a process that streamlines the assessment based on a variety of options that could work for you.
For example:
a) A pre-appointment inquiry form and/or phone consult script;
b) A website page, presentation, and/or handout that explains the process before meeting;
c) An example walk through of how to automate and use merge functions in google workspace (HIPAA compliant/paid version) to create templates for your letters.
This workshop will also include access to sample letter templates, assessment prompts, & sample informed consent paperwork for GAS Assessment.

RATES: In all of addyson’s offerings, rates are based on an economic justice tiered model with equity pricing, through a consensual payment model. Limited scholarship and/or ‘pay what you can’ spots are offered whenever possible (more when others help to sponsor spots). These spots are often utilized by those in communities that would not be able to afford to attend otherwise, e.g., trainees, providers in community mental health or nonprofits, those experiencing marginalization, etc. If you still cannot afford those rates, please reach out to me directly prior to completing your form.]
RECORDING: Parts of this workshop will be recorded, as well as providing step by step processes and an overview with access to the captioning from zoom. Only those who unmute during these parts of the workshop will be captured on the recording, and anyone who does not wish to be on the recording can request in the chat or in advance that addyson pause the recording when they wish to unmute. Participants will have access to the zoom recording for 30-days afterward unless discussed with addyson otherwise.
