Substance Abuse & Mental Health in the Transgender Community
Posted: October 14, 2020
Substance abuse and addiction rates in the transgender community are much higher than the cisgender community and 40% of transgender youth report being depressed most, if not all, the time. Sunshine Behavioral Health has developed a guide on Substance Abuse and Mental Health in the Transgender Community which can help health centers navigate and address these unique issues and challenges faced by the transgender community.
