Offering mental health services across state lines can aid children and families struggling to find gender-affirming services
Trans and gender-diverse youth across the country are scared, struggling and dying, and our duty is to address this crisis.
At Transhealth Northampton, where one of us is the chief executive officer, we have been able to provide lifesaving support to more than 100 trans and gender-diverse individuals in the past several months through a community health worker and a community engagement specialist.
Support groups that do not explicitly provide clinical care, like Transhealth, are inexpensive. These are different from clinical visits that provide primary care or therapy and are billed through insurance. These can be led by trained moderators who do not require licensing in every state where care is being delivered and who might themselves be transgender.
Fourth, health researchers must study and document the fallout of treatment bans. Health systems, especially medical schools and academic hospitals, routinely collect data and monitor adverse outcomes, including those resulting from LGBTQ-related state policies. In a recent survey, nearly seven out of every eight transgender and gender-diverse teens indicated that anti-LGBTQ legislation across the U.S. had worsened their mental health.
