đź“… March 2 @ 5:00 PM

🥣 Soup will be provided following the presentation
In today’s world, conversations about gender identity have become increasingly prevalent, yet they can often be complex and confusing. To help navigate these important discussions, Dr. Daniel Schumer, a Pediatric Endocrinologist and the Medical Director of the Child and Adolescent Gender Clinic at Mott Children’s Hospital, will be offering insights into gender identity, including the differences between normal gender exploration and gender dysphoria.
Dr. Schumer brings extensive expertise in working with children and adolescents who experience differences in gender identity. His discussion will cover the various mental health and medical approaches available to support young people on their gender journeys. Additionally, he will help clarify some of the common questions and controversies surrounding this topic, offering research-based insights and compassionate perspectives.
Gender identity is a deeply personal and evolving aspect of human experience. While some children naturally explore different expressions of gender, others may experience persistent distress, known as gender dysphoria, when their gender identity does not align with the sex assigned to them at birth. Understanding these differences is key to offering appropriate and supportive care.
As the conversation around gender identity continues to evolve, it is essential to rely on medical expertise and thoughtful dialogue. Dr. Schumer’s discussion will provide a well-rounded look at how families, educators, and communities can support children and adolescents in a way that prioritizes their well-being.
Join us for this insightful presentation as part of our Soup-er Sunday Speaker Series on March 2 at 5:00 PM in the Social Hall. Stay afterward to enjoy a warm bowl of soup and engage in further conversation.
📢 Everyone is welcome! Don’t miss this opportunity to learn and grow together.
