Trans+ HangOuts - Coping with isolation and loneliness

Details

Topic: Coping with isolation and loneliness
Date: Thurs 13th of August
Time: 11am
Where: Via Zoom

About this session:

Join us to discuss our experiences of isolation and loneliness and how being trans+ impacts this.

Being trans can feel extremely lonely at times from not seeing yourself represented in media to not having other trans+ in your inner circle to talk to. While Trans+ HangOuts do aim to reduce these feelings how do we cope with this outside of this space and what can we do to find more community? especially at a time where, as trans people we may be feeling scared and in need of more support.
