NYTAG provides culturally sensitive educational trainings to organizations, groups, and legislators/policymakers throughout New York State.

Cultural SENsITIVITY Training

New York Transgender Advocacy Group (NYTAG) offers cultural sensitivity & competency training to public accommodations that serve the Transgender, Gender Non-Conforming, & Non-Binary (TGNC/NB) communities.

Service Provider categories include:

Hospitals & Clinics
Non-Profits & City/State Governmental Programs
Educational Institutions (K-12 & Higher Education)
Police Departments & Correctional Facilities
For-Profit Businesses

The training is tailored according to the needs of the organization and can consist of 4-8 modules.

The aim is to ensure that effective and respectful services are provided to members of the TGNCNB community. Each module is designed to tackle issues such as bias within practice, the unique challenges TGNCNB people face when accessing services, and what you can do to ensure the needs of your TGNCNB clients are met with respect and understanding.

Overall Training Objectives

Articulate the different types of bias and describe how they facilitate the perpetuation of various disparities amongst TGNC/NB communities
Reflect on your own biases and how they might impact your relationships with TGNC/NB clients and/or traumatize your TGNCNB-identified clients
Apply effective strategies to better support the needs of the TGNC/NB community and promote their access to optimal and equitable services
Integrate trauma-informed approaches that affirm members of the TGNC/NB community and contribute to their healing and overall wellness

Case-Based Curriculum

The New York Transgender Advocacy Group believes that learning occurs most effectively when those engaged in the process collaborate and work toward a common goal. This is why all our cultural sensitivity trainings include at lease 2-case studies in which small groups of participants form groups and work through the content to move towards a solution.

Collaboration facilitates ongoing dialogue, which maximizes teaching and learning. Moreover, involved parties are able to co-construct knowledge and bring their own perspectives to the work, thus building empathy, flexibility in thinking, interdependence, critical thinking, and problem solving, amongst other essential skills.

All curriculum can be customized and include case studies that apply to the organization or group.

Best Practice Toolkit

All of our cultural sensitivity trainings include a toolbox of 5 best practices that, when implemented, can help improve your institution’s perceived quality and service of the TGNC/NB community. These best practices will be tailored to the organization and their needs.

A best practice is a method or technique that has been generally accepted as superior to any alternatives because it produces results that are superior to those achieved by other means, or because it has become a standard way of doing things, e.g., a standard way of complying with legal or ethical requirements.
