"In Conversation with Health & Wellness: De-Mystifying Health Services for Trans and Nonbinary Students" is the first session in a series of events planned to help to demystify the process of accessing healthcare for LGBTQ2S+ students.

Have you ever wondered what trans-affirming physical and mental health services are available at U of T and how to access them? You're not alone. The Sexual & Gender Diversity Office (SGDO) and Health and Wellness Centre are partnering for a conversation series, where trans and nonbinary students can ask questions about Health and Wellness services directly to the people who deliver them.

Students can submit your questions in advance through the event registration page, by emailing them directly to sgdo@utoronto.ca, or send them to the SGDO over social media (Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter). Our student co-hosts will then ask the questions anonymously.  Questions can also be asked during the event, either directly, or then can be sent through the Zoom chat to event organizers.
