In trans communities, suicidal people are experts at providing care and support. We want to document these strategies of care and ask participants if (or how) professional support could become safer. In this study, we want to learn about: your experiences with community and professional supports, and your recommendations for improving healthcare. Participation involves a 60 to 90 minute interview to share your experiences of accessing and providing support, as well as your recommendations for improving suicide-related healthcare. We are looking for trans people who are at least 25 years old, live in Canada, and have been suicidal within the last six months. 

If you would like to participate, email Isaac Wright at isaac.wright@ucalgary.ca, or fill out the screening survey at the link. 

This study is supervised by Dr. Gina Dimitropoulos and Dr. Zack Marshall. 
The University of Calgary Conjoint Faculties Research Ethics Board has approved this study (REB25-0371).
