All Things Mental Health
Advocacy and activism
This episode starts by introducing this series ‘Life as a trans+ student’. This series explores navigating university life as a transgender and/or non-binary student. Tune in to hear Aneeska, Anna, Izzy and Ugla explore the motivations for the series and the topics we will be covering. This series is a collaboration between Student Minds, Gendered Intelligence and All Things Mental Health, and forms a part of the wider Life as a trans+ student support resources available on Student Space.
Turning the focus to the main subject of the episode, Avery and Freddy explore Advocacy and Activism. Together, they discuss the challenges experienced by those supporting the trans+ community, reflecting on their own experiences as advocates and activists themselves. They both explore their roles in academic institutions and reflect on opportunities for building community, finding friendships, and more.
The co-hosts draw on their own experiences and if yours are different, that doesn't mean you can't find belonging or acceptance within your own individual journey.
