Participants will learn the impact of these laws on social workers and their clients, including ethical issues related to access to service, consent/assent, honesty/integrity, record keeping, respect, legal compliance, advocacy, cultural humility, and social justice. Participants will learn how to navigate these issues by applying a framework for managing ethical issues to case studies involving transgender and gender-diverse clients affected by these laws.
