Leaked Gender-Affirmative Training Videos, Part 3: The Parents' Path to Acceptance

Johanna Olson-Kennedy's colleague, Darlene Tando, schools other mental health professionals on how to guide parents from resistance to acceptance of their child's transgender identity.

This is part 3 of a 12-part series of training videos in the gender-affirming care method that top pediatric gender care doctor Johanna Olson-Kennedy conducted in April 2024 along with her two colleagues. To see parts 1 and 2, in which Dr. Olson-Kennedy herself ran the training (she’ll be back again in later videos), see:

Part 3 is run by Darlene Tando, a licensed clinical social worker, who runs the Tando Therapy Team, which specializes in gender-affirming care, in San Diego. She is also the author of The Conscious Parent’s Guide to Gender Identity. She has been working in private practice and with transgender patients for two decades.

Note that Dr. Olson Kennedy and her husband and colleague, Dr. Aydin Olson-Kennedy, and Tando will be running the 2025 edition of this training in April, according to an EventBrite that someone just sent my way. Here is the ad for that:
