Title: Name & Sex/Gender-Marker Changes in Utah

Speaker and Degree: Chris Wharton, JD

Description: Chris Wharton has represented clients in more name and sex/gender-marker cases than any other attorney in Utah. Chris also won the Utah Supreme Court case that set statewide standards for name and name and sex/gender-marker changes. This presentation will cover the legal processes and applicable statutes for name and sex/gender-marker changes. We will also discuss the medical and psychological evidence courts typically consider in these proceedings. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions about these processes and how medical health providers can help set their patients up for success in court.

AASECT hours: Exciting news for American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT) providers! The Guild is collaborating with our friends at The Healing Group Institute (THGI) to issue AASECT continuing education hours for the Guild's in-services. Look for the link to THGI's website, to apply for AASECT hours, every month, at the bottom of the emails titled: “Zoom Link.” These are the emails sent out before each in-service, that contains the Zoom link to our in-services, and the link to our CEU evaluation form. If you want both professional UPA-approved CEs and AASECT CEs you will need to fill out both evaluations. THGI is offering attendees 1.5 AASECT CEs for each of our 1.5 hours in-services for a fee of $35. You will be given the opportunity to apply when you attend the event.
