Groups draft 'wellbeing plan' for LGBTIQN+Advocacy groups and gender equality academics are drafting a LGBTIQN+ Wellbeing Strategy Plan, the country's first master plan to deal with discrimination against gender identities that fall outside the traditional binary of masculine and feminine. ThaiHealth held the forum to discuss the framework of the masterplan and solicit ideas from gender groups and other experts. Likely to be finished some time this year, the plan will be implemented from 2021-2023 as a framework for government bodies and rights groups to follow.

Among the goals is to provide healthcare with services responsive to all gender groups and counselling for these groups which are likely to develop depression and anxiety disorders.
