Suicide in Trans Communities - New Data from the Mental Health & Well-being Survey


02 OCT 2012


http://teni.ie/news-post.aspx?contentid=673


The preliminary results from the Trans Mental Health and Well-being survey* have found high levels of suicide ideation and attempted suicide within transgender communities in Ireland. The data revealed that 78% of trans people have thought about ending their lives and 40% have attempted suicide.

"These are very disturbing statistics," said TENI Director Broden Giambrone. "Trans people are part of the fabric of Irish society - we pay taxes, go to school, have families. Yet many of us feel excluded and there is still significant stigmatisation and marginalisation of trans people."
