NCT ID NCT06959992
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether support groups held in the Metaverse can help gender diverse people (transgender, nonbinary, or questioning) build resilience and self-compassion. 123 participants will be randomly assigned to the virtual group, a standard support group, or a waitlist. The goal is to see if this innovative approach improves well-being and coping skills.
