Social Work and Health Care Practice with Transgender and Nonbinary Individuals and CommunitiesPublication Date: 2020-08-14
This book examines issues across the lifespan of transgender and nonbinary individuals whilst synthesizing conceptual work, empirical evidence, pedagogical content, educational experiences, and the voices of transgender and nonbinary individuals. It highlights the resilience and resistance of transgender and nonbinary individuals and communities to challenge narratives relying on one-dimensional perspectives of risk and tragic lives. While there is currently unprecedented visibility and increasing support, members of these communities still face very high rates of violence, victimization, unemployment, discrimination and family rejection.
