NSUN is offering user-led groups free places on the ‘Trans Awareness: The Basics’ training course by Gendered Intelligence.

The session will:
- Explain what ‘trans’ means and describe the diversity of those who might use the term
- Introduce key concepts crucial to understanding trans people
- List the main legislation relating to trans identities
- Outline ways an organisation can work towards being trans-inclusive
- Provide links to further resources and help

This training is for individuals that are part of NSUN member organisations (user-led mental health groups and organisations, though we acknowledge that many groups might not explicitly define themselves in this way). You can sign up as an NSUN member for free here.
This session comprises around 1 hour of presentational material and 30 mins interactivity/Q&A. The Q&A enables people to bring the focus of the session onto the key issues that matter to them and particular questions they might have. The Q&A is usually threaded through the session to take people’s queries as they arise.
