This panel, featuring mental health professionals with experience supporting transgender individuals, will explore the profound mental health impacts of anti-transgender legislation on the trans community. As legislative attacks on trans rights increase, so do the emotional and psychological burdens placed on trans youth and adults alike.

Panelists will discuss the specific challenges that anti-trans laws create, including increased anxiety, depression, and feelings of isolation. They will also share strategies for mental health professionals, educators, and community members to support trans individuals during these difficult times. Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of the mental health struggles facing the transgender community and actionable steps to foster resilience and provide meaningful support.
