TRANSCENDING

Trans and gender diverse students can experience unique stressors because of transphobia, discrimination and social stigma. These experiences of gender-related minority stress can affect their health and overall wellbeing, but students can learn strategies to reduce their impact.

Transcending is an 8-week Cognitive Behavioural Therapy group that strives to provide a safe space for trans and gender diverse students to share experiences and help them understand and work through the impact that gender-related minority stress may have on their lives. Through this therapy group, you will have the opportunity to:

  • Learn about Minority Stressors and how they can impact you.
  • Learn ways to reduce the impacts of Minority Stress and live more authentic to your values.
  • Connect with people who have similar experiences.
