| Abstrakt: | Providing parents and their teenage children with an opportunity to experience voice modification techniques and discussions about mental health issues could alleviate some of their tremendous minority stress. Speech-language pathologists and counselors can use experiential learning and a multidimensional family approach to support parents and their trans teenagers to build connections and learn individual perspectives on their personal phases of transitioning. Participants of the 3-hour webinar included nine dyads of parents and youths across the United States. Topics on voice modification and mental health strategies were presented. Only parents completed the pre- and post-surveys to measure confidence in their knowledge to support their youth's voice and mental health needs. There were 10 Likert scale questions (5 voice, 5 mental health). The Kruskal-Wallis H -test results revealed that the median responses to the pre and post voice survey did not show a statistically significant change ( H = 8.0, p = 0.342). Similarly, the mental health surveys did not reach significance ( H = 8.0, p = 0.433). However, the growth trend shows strong promise for developing effective future experiential training workshops as a viable service provision for increasing parents' knowledge in supporting their trans child's voice and mental health needs.
