MHFA England® our #MyWholeSelf campaign is about creating workplace cultures where everybody is free to be themselves without fear of prejudice and harm. Whilst we are making some progress in creating inclusive work cultures, most of us would agree it is too slow, and there is so much more to do to make that a reality for so many people, including those who are trans and non-binary. The Sunday just gone was the International Trans Day of Visibility. It is held every year on 31st March and is a moment to celebrate the joy, resilience and contribution of trans and non-binary people across society. Prejudice, discrimination and the so called culture war inevitably has an emotional and mental toll on trans and no -binary people, that cannot be under-estimated. That is reflected in the significant disparities in mental health outcomes. Trans in the City, Gendered Intelligence, Black Trans Alliance, Stonewall and many others provide training, guidance and helpful information. Do check them out. My colleague Lewis wrote this blog about supporting the mental health of LGBTQ colleagues at work a little while ago and it is still relevant now. https://lnkd.in/ecAZktWe #InclusionAtWork #MyWholeSelf #TransVisibility
I didn't react to your post, but not because I didn't like it. I'm currently on a 1-week reaction detox. Don't judge me hard.
