The Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) says trans and gender diverse individuals face multiple challenges in accessing culturally competent and gender affirming care. The organization released a policy statement highlighting these challenges and calling on healthcare organizations and providers to make changes. The CPA is calling for training and education that equips healthcare professionals to provide gender affirming care, rather than care that can contribute to negative health outcomes.
