Conversations Cafe: Policy and Mental Health

In the history of treatment of people with mental health challenges, the American healthcare system has done a poor job at protecting people. Policy should ask people what they need to live the lives they want and support them in getting there, and while there have been improvements, we have more work to do. Join Hope For The Day and a panel of guests as we talk about the continued fight to ensure access to treatment, to improve quality of treatment, to reduce homelessness, incarceration, and discrimination, and ultimately move our system towards what better can look like: one where people are treated with dignity and proactive prevention of mental health challenges is prioritized. Come join the conversation.

Join us for an exploration on Trans experiences and its intersection with mental health. Biological sex implies binary or “two.” The reality is we are on a spectrum of identity and orientation, yet for years, “gender identity disorder” was listed as a sexual dysfunction. The concept of trans identity was removed only recently. A person may identify with many more specific terms, though, underneath the umbrella of trans identity and in this episode, representatives from various intersections will share insights and their stories of resilience.
