Sending abuse to trans charities is only going to harm young people
Mermaids helps offer life-saving services to young people and their families. With a helpline like that closed – albeit temporarily – it means that people had one less network to go to.This could mean that a young person in a mental health crisis or a parent unsure how to respond to their child coming out can’t get the specialised advice Mermaids offers.Access to support for young people is shown to be absolutely vital for them.
