Study into the mental health and emotional wellbeing of UK trans people.
Extract from Website
From February 2012 to September 2012, the Scottish Transgender Alliance, in partnership with TransBareAll, the Trans Resource and Empowerment Centre, Traverse Research and Sheffield Hallam University, has been conducting a ground-breaking new research study into trans mental health and wellbeing. Today we launched our Trans Mental Health Study 2012 research report at the UK LGBT Health Summit.
This research represents the largest survey of its kind in Europe, providing vital data on trans people’s mental health needs and experiences, explored in the context of daily life, social/support mechanisms and when accessing healthcare and mental health services. Central here was an exploration of how the process of transitioning (social and/or medical) impacts mental health and wellbeing. The research was unique in its exploration of both the positive and negative impact that being trans has on mental health and wellbeing.
