To every parent or family member of a trans or gender diverse young person: we see you, and we understand how heavy the past few weeks may have felt. With changes in Queensland affecting access to gender-affirming care, it’s completely natural to feel a mix of emotions and concerns for the young person you love so deeply. At headspace, we firmly believe in the power of gender-affirming care. It’s not just about medical treatment, it’s about giving young people the space to feel seen, accepted, and supported. This care has been shown to significantly reduce mental health struggles like anxiety, depression, and self-harm. If you’re looking for guidance or someone to talk to, headspace is here to help. Whether you visit a local centre, reach out to our online support services, or simply explore the resources on our website, we’re here for you and your family.
