Work needs to be done to respect and empower the lived experiences of transgender, non-binary and gender diverse communities, throughout society, the mental health system, and support services and organsiations.
With transgender health reporting stats saying the Transgender Non Binary and Gender Diverse communities are experiencing four times the rate of emotional and mental distress than the ‘general’ community its great to see VMIAC. continuing to target communities experiencing the extreme distress often associated with systemic discrimination, etc
