Perhaps you want to legally change your name or your bank details? \nThese Trans Admin Group support sessions are a space where you can come to with any trans admin that you’re needing to do: \nSometimes we just need some encouragement from others\, or not to be alone with this. Other times we might have very specific questions or need support with an admin task. Or someone who signs our deed poll\, proof reads an email\, helps us to write a complaint. \nWhatever you are bringing to the sessions\, chances are that someone else has experience with this or tips for you. \nAbout the organiser: \nKai is a London based psychologist and dramatherapist\, and a doctoral researcher at the University of Sussex. He works therapeutically with individuals in private practice\, specialising in the treatment of trauma\, shame\, and stigma. \nKai is passionate about community building and works with groups and organisations to facilitate collective empowerment for survivors of sexual violence\, queer and trans people\, and other marginalised groups. As a researcher\, he works on developing anti-stigma resistance strategies for survivors of sexual violence. \nAccessibility: \nThe Centre’s accessibility statement is here. \nCovid and mpox safety at the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre: \nTo keep our community safe\, we ask that all visitors do not visit the centre if they are feeling any Covid-19 and/or mpox symptoms including headache\, fever\, sore throat\, consistent cough\, chills and unusual spots\, scabs or ulcers. \nYou can wear a mask if you feel more comfortable.
