2024 TransPride YOUniting Health & Wellness Conference

November 7, 2024 to November 9, 2024

https://www.transpridepgh.org/2024-hw-conference.html

The 9th annual TransPride YOUniting Health & Wellness Conference offers 3 days of professional continuing education for medical practitioners and students. It also features community-focused contend and is open and free to all Transgender, Nonbinary, and Gender Diverse community members (18+) and their immediate caregivers, allowing full access to all content.

Our keynotes this year include: Kellan Baker (Executive Director Whitman-Walker Institute), Jack Turban (UCSF - Mental Health Research Gender Diverse Youth), Erika Lorshbough (Executive Director InterACT), and Frances Grimstad (Boston Children's - Care for Intersex Youth).

The conference is a collaborative partnership between TransPride PGH, TransYOUniting, UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, UPMC Western Psychiatric Hospital, and other community partners organized and facilitated in Pittsburgh, PA.

The TransPride YOUniting Health and Wellness Conference is needed now more than ever. Transgender, Nonbinary, and other Gender Diverse people, their parents, caregivers, and the health care professionals that care for them face unprecedented pressure and attacks as lawmakers across the country push hundreds of anti-trans policies and bills through their legislatures. This conference seeks to be a beacon of hope by bringing together community, professionals, families, educators, allies, advocates, and supporters and rallying against these issues by centering the lives and lived experiences of the transgender, gender diverse, and gender non-conforming people. We strive to bring these communities together in a space of mutual learning through shared perspectives and experience.
