Mental Health Issues for Trans and Gender Diverse People: Feat. Yves Rees

Wednesday, 6 March 2024 - 5:00pm to 5:30pm

Yves Rees, a writer, historian, podcaster and trans advocate talks candidly about the highs and lows of their own trans journey and the challenges that other trans and gender diverse people experience. It is an unfortunate fact that trans and gender diverse people are much more likely to attempt suicide than the general population. Yves explores why this is true and provides some suggestions for tackling trans mental health issues moving forward.
