We are supporting trans youth!
The challenges faced and hate endured by transgender youth can take a hefty toll on an adolescent's self-esteem and mental health. Long-term damage such as PTSD, Depression and Anxiety are only a few disorders felt by many and in recent years, transgender youth have been committing suicide at alarmingly high rates.
It is estimated that 40% of transgender individuals will attempt suicide by the time they reach 25. While it is an unfortunate truth, there's no denying that since then society has come leaps and bounds in understanding.
Through Summer Camp sessions and Retreats, Transcending Adolescence intends to provide support for trans youth by helping youth cultivate strengths and coping skills to reduce these alarming rates.
