Abstract

Education programs can help families of trans young people to accept and support a trans family member. However, little has been written about the design and development of such programs. This article seeks to fill this gap in the literature by detailing the design and development of an education program for families of trans young people. A seven-step learner-centered, outcomes-based approach was used as the basis for program design and development. The process also included participatory elements throughout, including input from professionals, families, and trans young people in a consultation and evaluation process. This culminated in the development of an eight-module online education program. The approach presented in this article may be of value to anyone interested in developing an education resource for families of trans young people, and it would be recommended to consider how such an approach could be applied in a specific context. The program also provided an opportunity for involvement from professionals, families, and trans young people in the community, and it would be important for anyone working in the area to consider how such participation could be both enhanced and enabled.

摘要

教育计划可以帮助跨性别青年家庭接纳和支持跨性别家庭成员。但是，有关此类程序的设计和开发的文献很少。本文旨在通过详细介绍跨性别年轻人家庭的教育计划的设计和开发，来填补文献中的空白。以学习者为中心，基于结果的七步方法被用作程序设计和开发的基础。该过程还包括参与性元素，包括在咨询和评估过程中来自专业人士，家庭和跨性别青年的意见。这最终导致了八个模块的在线教育计划的开发。本文中介绍的方法对于有兴趣为跨性别青年家庭开发教育资源的任何人都可能有价值，并且建议考虑如何在特定情况下应用这种方法。该计划还为社区中的专业人士，家庭和跨性别青年提供了参与的机会，对于在该地区工作的任何人来说，考虑如何增强和促进这种参与至关重要。
