Navigating COVID and Trauma: A Conversation on Boundaries, Healing, and Community Care
Introductory 
Service Providers
Trans Communities Trans/nonbinary communities are disproportionately impacted by COVID and Long COVID. Many of us are navigating the effects of multiple forms of trauma, disability, and isolation, while trying to care for ourselves and others. In this event, FORGE staff will engage in conversation on the connections between COVID and trauma, strategize ways to build community care and navigate trauma, and share stories of moving through the world as COVID cautious trans/nonbinary people. We welcome you to come to listen or participate in interactive engagement that will help build a community at the intersection of trans lives, trauma, and disability.
