July is #MinorityMentalHealthMonth and I’m happy to have contributed to destigmatizing and creating #minoritymentalhealth awareness via my piece for @lagaleriamag’s first print issue. A piece near and dear to me.
Cop the gorgeous mag here: amzn.to/2NpYXqW

This week, New York became the first state to require all elementary, middle and high schools to teach students about mental health.

Leyla: “We hear stories in the media of violence, and when the person is brown or Middle-Eastern, the perception is immediately that they’re radicalized, whenever they’re white, they call him a lone wolf. That’s the narrative.” #transmentalhealth #jackcarleton
RJ: “The media wants the ideal white trans person, they’re not here for the trans sex worker, or the trans person of colour. They’re not even here for people of colour.” #transmentalhealth #jackcarleton
RJ: “A lot of it is linked back to that inter-generational trauma among Indigenous people who are trying to live in Canada. There are so many demonizing depictions if Indigenous people in the media.” #transmentalhealth #jackcarleton
Question: how have you seen mainstream media overlook trans mental health? #transmentalhealth #jackcarleton
Leyla: “transness and mental health are very closely linked because of the history of how transness in a western context has been defined as a mental illness when it’s not” #transmentalhealth #jackcarleton
RJ: “I recognize that this has to do with colonialism, and it was things like the residential schools and the sixties scoop which reinforced the gender binary.” #transmentalhealth #jackcarleton
