Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) youth and their families are seeking medical and mental health care at increasing rates. As the number of multidisciplinary pediatric gender programs expands, we consider the history and evidence base for gender affirmative care and highlight existing models of care that can flexibly accommodate the diverse needs of TGD youth and their families. Comprehensive multidisciplinary care includes both medical and mental health providers who work collaboratively with TGD youth and their caregivers to assess gender-related support needs and facilitate access to developmentally appropriate medical and mental health interventions. In addition to direct health-care services, multidisciplinary care for TGD youth and their families extends into community training, education, community outreach, nonmedical programming, and advocacy for TGD youth.
跨性别及性别多元（TGD）青少年及其家庭寻求医疗和心理健康护理的比例正在不断上升。随着多学科儿科性别项目数量的增加，我们审视了性别肯定性护理的历史和证据基础，并着重介绍了能够灵活满足TGD青少年及其家庭多样化需求的现有护理模式。全面的多学科护理包括医疗和心理健康服务提供者，他们与TGD青少年及其照顾者合作，评估与性别相关的支持需求，并促进获得适合其发育阶段的医疗和心理健康干预措施。除了直接的医疗保健服务外，针对TGD青少年及其家庭的多学科护理还延伸到社区培训、教育、社区外展、非医疗项目以及为TGD青少年进行宣传。
