Transgender Suicide and Self-Harm: Why the Problem Isn't Being Trans and What Helps People Heal
The higher rates of suicide, self-harm, depression, and anxiety we see in transgender communities are often discussed as though they tell us something about transgender people themselves. They don't.
What they tell us is that rejection hurts.
Isolation hurts.
Bullying hurts.
Being questioned, misunderstood, dismissed, or treated as though you don't belong hurts.
UPDATE: The SAGE IOP is no longer running
Mirmont is now enrolling for a new mental health intensive outpatient group. SAGE (Sexuality and Gender Expansive) is open to any adult who identifies as LGBTQ+ and lives with a primary mental health diagnosis. This group will include mental health psychoeducation, DBT-informed therapy, mindfulness and a culturally responsive and strengths-based approach.
