Mental Health Care Experiences, Access, and Unmet Need Among Transgender and Non-binary Communities
Unmet mental health care need among transgender and non-binary (TNB) people is high, largely due to structural barriers to care resulting from stigma. Drawing on research from Trans PULSE Canada, a community-based study on TNB health, guest speaker Heather Santos explores two key questions: which social identities and positions are associated with higher unmet mental health care need? and what are the experiences of TNB people when accessing care from various mental health care providers?Â
Heather Santos is a Postdoctoral Scholar at Pennsylvania State University and Adjunct Professor at Drexel University in Pennsylvania, USA. Heather is an epidemiologist whose work takes an intersectional approach to examining suicide risk among sexual and gender minorities, with a particular interest in adolescent populations.
The webinar will be chaired by Dr Hazel Marzetti (she/her), Co-Chair of the IASP LGBTQIA+ Special Interest Group and Senior Research Fellow at the University of Edinburgh’s School of Health in Social Science. Hazel leads research related to suicide and suicide prevention, with specialist expertise in LGBTQIA+ suicide and suicide prevention.
