PsychNP Cast

Dre Ceja (They/Them) joins us to talk about easy things we can do to provide affirming care for our transgender and non-binary patients. We will discuss simple changes you and staff can make when working with patient's pronouns, avoiding gender errors, understanding simple terms, and remembering that it doesn't always have to be about gender care.Reaching out to our Guest Dre Ceja (dceja@centralpalgbtcenter.org):LGBT Center of Central PA - Director of Training & Education Transgender Training Institute Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dreconchile/

Meet Rochelle Perry PMHNP (rdperry05241@gmail.com) to learn about how she's worked with her son on his use of Long-Acting Injectables (LAIs) and how she uses them in her outpatient settings. There is a lot of strong clinical evidence that this patient care pathway helps and it's very easy, with low barriers to us providing it right in our office. Learn more about that... listen and enjoy.References:Greene, M., Yan, T., Chang, E., Hartry, A., Touya, M., & Broder, M. S. (2018).
