The Freedom Centre and the Trans Pathways Research Team (which is made up of Telethon Kids Institute, The University of WA, Curtin University, YouthLink and Freedom Centre) received funding the WA Mental Health Commission’s Suicide Prevention Peer Support and Mentoring Grants to deliver a series of free art workshops for young people aged 12-25 who identify as trans or gender diverse.
Hosted by local trans community artist Lex Randolph these workshops allowed young people to explore their gender journey, mental health and wellbeing through art alongside their peers.
This exhibition is a culmination of this work and aims to be an interactive and educational experience for all. Please come along and support the great work of these trans and gender diverse young people.
