In the transgender and gender-expansive population, the lifetime prevalence of suicide attempts is 27%, according to a recent systematic review. (It is 2.7% in the general population and between 10% and 20% in the LGBTQIA+ population.) The experience of psychiatric hospitalization is very traumatic for many trans and gender-expansive folks, who regularly report being mistreated by police and security, misgendered and bullied by staff and other patients, and placed in facilities and support groups based on their sex assigned at birth rather than their gender identity. This workshop will provide an overview of foundational trans and gender-expansive information for mental health providers and then particularly focus on suicidality, exploring: (1) Why hospitalization is so traumatic for trans and gender-expansive folks via case examples and narratives, (2) how psychiatric hospitals can be made safer for the trans and gender-expansive population and (3) ways in which social workers can support clinical care for trans and gender-expansive clients.
