Emily May

Hello. I am new here and would love to be part of the mental health and women's health groups. I am PhD student researching biosocial effects on women and gender-diverse people's brain and mental health at Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig. Through my journey of calling different places home I value global and international perspectives and efforts.

I am conducting a citizen science mixed-methods study with participatory research steps during the My Body, My Brain, My Choices workshop (Hannover, September 17-19th) on taboos in women's and gender-diverse mental health. I would be grateful if you could share your insights and to others who might be interested in contributing or advise on other organizations I could reach out to.

Supporting Citizen Science Research: Taboos in Women and Gender-diverse People's Health
Despite scientific and medical advancements, women's health continues to be affected by stigmatization, misinformation, and political underrepresentation. We firmly believe: "Women and gender diverse people’s health is more than reproductive health."
We seek to understand and formulate ways to break down taboos surrounding women and gender diverse people's mental and neurological health in research and clinical settings. Please feel invited to fill out the short, anonymous survey with just two questions on your experience with taboos. Whether you are a clinician, researcher, or bring lived experience, your contribution will directly inform research priorities and a women's health platform.
