clinical graduate students (within 2 months of graduating) to take part in a survey regarding their training experiences in their clinical graduate program related to transgender and non-binary affirmative therapy.<span style="margin:0px"> </span></span><span style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11pt; line-height: normal; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: black;">Researchers
continue to report that clinicians report receiving a lack of training related to the transgender and non-binary population. This limits the ability for this population to locate affirming clinicians, which relates to the continued disproportionate negative
mental health outcomes this population experiences.<span style="margin:0px"> </span></span><span style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; color: black;"><span style="margin:0px; line-height:normal; font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif">Through
