Summary

This study explores whether an 8-week virtual mindful self-compassion program is practical and well-received by transgender and nonbinary young adults. Participants attend weekly 2.5-hour online classes plus a 4-hour retreat, practice daily exercises, and complete surveys over several months. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and acceptable, not yet to measure its effectiveness.
