Their childhood experiences in behavioral healthcare settings drive their commitment to address system barriers pertaining to youth receiving care. As a young, transgender professional, Alex uses a unique combination of lived expertise and professional knowledge to facilitate opportunities among young adults and providers that change how care is facilitated with youth. Listen in to hear Jasmine and Alex talk about LGBTQ+ youth and mental health, and about important things to know about this topic!
