This series will describe results from a research project about the impact of COVID-19 on trans and nonbinary people in Canada and the public health related lessons learned from the pandemic's impact on this community. [...] I'm a PhD candidate at the University of Victoria and the School of Public Health and Social Policy. [...] In the rest of this first episode, I'm going to summarize the work of Trans Pulse Canada and describe the COVID-19 specific survey that was launched in 2020. [...] The Trans Pulse Canada team strongly supports the need for trans inclusive mental health services to help address the impacts of the pandemic. [...] These services need to be designed and delivered alongside measures that reduce discriminaGon and add to trans affirming healthcare and also strengthen employment, housing security and improve the capacity of communiGes to thrive.
