Education
It is important that trans youth are supported and affirmed at school. We help train teachers, staff, and administrators at the school and district levels on the current laws and best practices.
Medical Professionals
TFSS welcomes the opportunity to help medical professionals and their staff understand the needs both medically and mentally of transgender youth. We participate, coordinate and organize many educational events throughout the county.
Workforce Competency
In 2018, California law requires companies to train their employees to be Transgender competent. TFSS has a training program to fit your needs.
