Description
Cultivating Resilience Among Transgender Women Within Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Treatment interventions that effectively address dual diagnosis issues among transgender women are essential for promoting the recovery process. Transgender women are especially at risk as they have a higher likelihood of developing mental health and substance use disorders. This presentation aims to identify interventions that promote resilience among transgender women in recovery. This presentation will utilize peer-reviewed research within the last ten years and present the findings regarding resilience or dual diagnosis treatment among transgender women.
Specifically, current evidence on the effectiveness of culturally informed clinicians, customized therapies, and micro and macro interventions will be the primary focal points of the presentation. Clinicians working directly in dual diagnosis treatment will be the primary audience for the presentation, but professionals in mental health and associate licensed clinicians will also benefit. Limitations of the research will be discussed, including the lack of unified research designs across the literature reviewed, as well as a lack of research specifically regarding transgender women. An emphasis on advocacy will encapsulate the findings of the presentation with a directive to alter how not only micro but macro interventions support transgender women as they reclaim their lives in recovery.
Upon completion of this conference, participants will be able to:
- Identify the relevance of customized interventions for transgender women in dual diagnosis and the importance of treatment outcomes for this population.
- Identify current interventions that can promote resilience among transgender women with dual diagnoses.
- Learn why promoting resilience is imperative to effective dual diagnosis treatment.
