CoachingMentorshipWorkshopsCoursesAccess to ResourcesCEU's

Gender Health Training Institute has a coaching program for clinicians interested in working in a more intensive and personal way with Dr. Giammattei. We open for new coaching students twice a year. Please contact us to be put on the waitlist for the next enrollment opportunity.

Dr. Giammattei is a WPATH GEI Certified Mentor. If you are looking for mentoring to become a WPATH GEI SOC7 Certified Member, this is offered separately from coaching, but can also be incorporated into the coaching program if preferred.

FOR PARENTS of trans/non-binary youth: Gender Health Training Institute and Dr Giammattei in collaboration with parents of trans youth are launching a private site just for you. It will be full of resources and connections with other parents to help you on your own gender journey.

This fall & Winter, Gender Health Training Institute will begin rolling out digital CE courses for clinicians on topics most pertinent in the care of TGE clients and their families, with more coming down the pipeline in 2021 and beyond.
