Episode 329: On Identity with Vijay pt 4: Expanding the Narrative
In the final episode of this series, Vijay, a member of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, continues to share their experiences as a trans non-binary individual of color, as well as sharing the experiences of others in the queer community. The discussion between Vijay and Caitlin focuses on the importance of timely and appropriate interventions for queer individuals, the need for better understanding and training in queer issues among healthcare providers, and the importance of advocating for change in mental health systems.
As discussed in the episode, the following are some resources that we felt were important to share.
