The purpose of this study is to test out an 8-week virtual Mindful Self-Compassion group intervention to see how transgender and nonbinary young adults (aged 18-25) like the program and how well they think the individual activities work for them.
The study is approved by the Institutional Review Board at URI and is currently being funded by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH).
The intervention will be conducted by members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
