Transgender Youth, Religion & Mental Health

In this groundbreaking research project, we delve into the complex terrain of transgender youth's mental health, uncovering a nuanced relationship with religion and spirituality. Contrary to previous assumptions, recent survey data from The Trevor Project, the foremost suicide intervention services for LGBT youth, unveil a compelling link between the well-being of transgender youth and their engagement with religion and spirituality.

This multidisciplinary exploration challenges prior research that dismissed a significant connection between transgender youth and religious influences. With over half of transgender youth seriously contemplating or attempting suicide, the study aims to bridge the gap in the existing literature by posing a crucial question: "What role does religion or spirituality play in transgender youth's mental health?"
