The Trans Pathways report is now available at www.telethonkids.org.au/transpathways
Trans Pathways is the largest survey that has been conducted with trans and gender diverse young people on their mental health and experiences accessing services in Australia. The report is a summary of findings from 859 trans young people aged 14-25 years and 194 parents and guardians of trans young people from around Australia. The results are confronting and they demonstrate that there is much work to be done to support trans young people in Australia in their medical and mental health needs.
The Trans Pathways project is the largest survey ever undertaken in Australia of the mental health and health care pathways of trans (transgender) young people. It is a collaboration between Telethon Kids Institute, the University of Western Australia, Youth Mental Health (WA Department of Health), Curtin University and The Freedom Centre (WA AIDS Council).
