Creating Change 2021 – Helping Professionals

Developed by members of TAAAP for Creating Change 2021. This session was a chance to hear about the levels of knowledge and types of assumptions therapists and doctors sometimes make about ace and aro identities, then discuss personal experiences with barriers to accessing counselors, doctors, and other healthcare professionals who are knowledgeable and properly inclusive about ace and aro identities. Some time in the session was dedicated to brainstorming the best ways for aspec individuals to receive affirming and competent care, as well as brainstorming avenues for educating these care providers.

Because it included personal information from participants, the transcript is general notes of the topics discussed rather than the full record.
