Heightened Scrutiny - Documentary Screening
2025-10-19 11:15 - 13:15 | Alamo Drafthouse – Sloans Lake, 4255 West Colfax Avenue, Denver, CO, United States
An ACLU attorney fights to overturn the ban on gender-affirming care

HEIGHTENED SCRUTINY follows Chase Strangio, ACLU attorney and the first out trans person to argue before the Supreme Court, as he fights a high-stakes legal battle to overturn Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth (United States v. Skrmetti).
The film exposes the dangerous role of mainstream media in fueling anti-trans legislation, uncovering how biased coverage drives hate, endangers lives, and threatens democracy itself. With insights from journalists like Jelani Cobb, Lydia Polgreen, and Gina Chua, and activists like Laverne Cox, the story dismantles anti-trans disinformation and highlights its devastating real-world impact.
With the dangerous SCOTUS decision upholding the ban on life-saving healthcare, HEIGHTENED SCRUTINY is an urgent call to action against bigotry and injustice.

How Therapists Can Provide Queer-Affirming Mental Health!
2025-10-22 11:30 - 12:30 | Virtual – Zoom
Denver Family Institute would like to invite youth-serving professionals to our upcoming virtual "Lunch and Learn" on October 22nd or December 3rd to discuss an emerging therapeutic model, the "Queer Adjusted Systemic Lens!"
The model will be presented by its creator, August Tousignant-Stanton, LCSW, LMFT (they/them). August is a member of the American Association of Marriage & Family Therapists (AAMFT's) group of queer therapists, QTAN (the Queer and Trans Advocacy Network). As part of QTAN, August composed the chapter on working with queer children for AAMFT's new guidebook, "GENDER-AFFIRMING CARE: Guidelines for Working Systemically with Transgender, Nonbinary, and Gender Expansive Clients." (Available for free here.) August will be presenting their model at AAMFT's Systemic Family Therapy conference in late October 2025.
August's new model, the "Queer Adjusted Systemic Lens," is focused on giving professionals who work with queer youth & their families a new approach to their work; one that affirms the identity of clients, acknowledges the real risks (and the very real benefits) of queer thriving, and how to maneuver relationships and systems beyond "neutrality." There will be a Q&A following the presentation.
If you have any questions, please contact Miguel Valdez, DFI Program Manager, at miguelvaldez@denverfamilyinstitute.org. We look forward to seeing you at the "Lunch and Learn!"
