How Fast Should I Go?
Trans Care Teen takes about 4–5 hours total, spread over one month, with breaks between modules so you can practice each skill in real life.
Suggested schedule:
Week 1: Learn what gender dysphoria is, spot triggers, and learn to Stay Present with mindful awareness skills. (Aprende qué es disforia de género, identifica desencadenantes y aprende a “Stay Present” con habilidades de “mindful awareness.”)
Week 2: Practice mindful awareness, then learn Take Action coping skills. (Practica “mindful awareness” y luego aprende habilidades de afrontamiento de “Take Action.”)
Week 3: Practice action skills, then learn to Shift Your Focus with avoidant coping skills. (Practica habilidades de acción y luego aprende a “Shift Your Focus” con habilidades de afrontamiento evitativas.)
Week 4: Practice all three kinds of coping, learn to combine them, and receive your custom coping cheat sheet. (Practica los tres tipos de afrontamiento, aprende a combinarlos y recibe tu guía personalizada de estrategias de afrontamiento.)
Most days take 30–60 minutes.
Set reminders for yourself to come back to the program, and be sure to check your email or texts for any prompts to work on new sections. (Pon recordatorios para regresar al programa y asegúrate de revisar tu correo electrónico o tus mensajes de texto por si recibes avisos para trabajar en nuevas secciones.)
If you choose your own schedule, take intentional breaks between modules and finish within one month.
