RePost • @transitgrupper Did you know that RFSL Stockholm has a mental health support group for transgender newcomers in Stockholm? This group aims to be a safe space led by a transgender group leader with an aim of offering tools to trans newcomers where we can deal our with stress and traumas both from our experiences in our home countries and Sweden. We meet for fika and do empowerment work and provide information related not just to healthcare and legal system for trans people in Sweden, but also information dealing with everyday life experiences specific to the trans people. Fika will be provided on each meeting, free of charge. We meet every second Wednesday of the month, 19:00 at RFSL Stockholm. The next one will be on the 5th of February. Are you interested and want to know more? Contact us at ines.lukac@stockholm.rfsl.se or newcomers.stockholm@stockholm.rfsl.se #newcomers #transgender #supportgroup #newcomersstockholm
