Mid-Session De-compression: Hosted by TransVisible Montana

Facilitated by a Transgender individual and accompanied by a Transgender, Nonbinary, or Two Spirit mental health professional, this decompression brings community members the care and strength necessary to finish out the legislative session. 

Decompressions typically precede an event that is particularly difficult for a people group and are designed to create a brave space for folks to release any tension, stress and other heavy feelings in a supportive environment surrounded by their peers. TransVisible’s Mid-Session Decompression is specifically organized for Transgender, Nonbinary, and Two Spirit Montanans to address any fears, concerns, and questions that have arisen due to anti-Transgender legislation.

Facilitator Bio: Paxton McCausland (he/they) has been facilitating trans specific support groups and decompressions for the past 8 years.
