Part of Mental Health Awareness Week 2021

Come to this talk to find out more about mental health in the trans and non-binary community, and what we can do to make the conversation on mental health more inclusive. The talk will cover facts and figures, factors that specifically impact on trans people’s mental health, actions everyone can take to be supportive, and sources of support available.

This event is open to all members of the College community. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions during the session.

The Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Centre has worked with MindOut, a LGBTQ mental health charity, to organise this event.

Spaces are limited so please do register ahead of time.
