Summary

This project will study the effect of the TAG TEAM group CBT program on the mental health of trans and gender diverse adolescents. TAG TEAM was co-designed by researchers and clinicians with a group of trans and gender diverse young people to help trans and gender diverse adolescents understand and cope with minority stress. Minority stress includes experiences like discrimination and rejection. TAG TEAM focuses on learning and practicing skills to support mental health and wellbeing. It also includes group discussions and activities with other trans and gender diverse young people. TAG TEAM groups are run by a psychologist and a trans peer facilitator. A trans peer facilitator is a trans and gender diverse person who is there to share their experience of being trans and to support participants in the group sessions.
