Abstract
The U.S. trans/gender diverse (TGD) community experiences considerable mental health disparities and barriers to health care. To address these challenges, Trans Wellness, Trans Brilliance (TWTB) was developed to advance the resilience, self-compassion, and community connectedness of TGD people in Michigan. Designed by TGD people for TGD people, this community-based research project was a joint partnership between a local trans community care organization and a large Midwestern research institution, supported by state foundation funding. The construction of TWTB was sequential and iterative. The project concept originally emerged from previous research, which identified a need for a program to enhance resilience, capacity, and emotional well-being in the broader Michigan TGD community. This led to the innovative idea of designing an intervention that was both virtually accessible and capable of being implemented by any community advocate, regardless of professional training. Interviews were conducted with community stakeholders statewide to identify the needs, desired skills, and objectives for such a skill-based program. Findings from these interviews were used to design the online intervention. Community members further shaped the intervention through a focus group, which assessed the desirability and anticipated effectiveness of the curriculum. The final product was TWTB: an 8-week, peer-support, virtual wellness intervention.
