Support isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a lifeline. For transgender and nonbinary (TGNB) young people of color, who often face the compounded challenges of racism, transphobia, and systemic barriers, social support can make all the difference. This month’s research brief explores the critical role that friends, family, and community play in shaping the mental health and well-being of TGNB young people of color.

** Understanding Support Through an Intersectional Lens
------------------------------------------------------------

Our research shows ([link removed](i.e.e-newsletter)&utm_source=emailsegment-wholefile1&utm_campaign=generaleffort) that the level of social support and acceptance these young people experience can vary greatly depending on their racial or ethnic background. While some report welcoming communities and strong friendships, others navigate daily life with limited support from those closest to them—particularly family members. These disparities reflect the ongoing need for intersectional approaches to mental health support that address both racial and gender identity factors.

When TGNB young people of color feel supported by friends, it can provide a powerful buffer against stress and isolation—67% of respondents shared that they receive high levels of support from peers. But the numbers drop sharply when it comes to family: only 17% said they felt highly supported at home. This gap underscores just how vital it is for families, schools, and communities to actively work toward creating welcoming spaces.
