Episode 2.5 - Transitioning with Yan Wen Ching

SPEAK UP!

Yan is a 22 year old transman, who works for and loves the NHS. He is currently working in the Gender Identity Service which is very fulfilling and gives him the chance to give back to the system that had helped him with his transition.

He has been within the NHS mental health system since the age of 13 through CAMHs and adult services:

"I am forever grateful for all the help I have received through the years and for all the amazing health professionals that have provided me with the support I’ve needed. It’s an everyday struggle but there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel."

*TRIGGER WARNING* This episode will discuss sensitive topics such as suicide and eating disorders. If you feel like you need to speak to someone, please call the Papyrus helpline on 080003684141.
