Letters of Support for Gender Transition Services
Supporting Our Trans Community: Gender-Affirming Care at GGOC
At Gather & Grow OC, we believe that access to gender-affirming care is a fundamental right. We understand that navigating the healthcare system can be challenging, especially when seeking transition-related services. That's why we're committed to providing comprehensive support through our affirming assessment and letter-writing services.
Our Affirming Model
Unlike traditional gatekeeping approaches, our model centers on empowerment and informed consent. We view our role as supporters and advocates in your journey, not gatekeepers. Our assessment process is collaborative, respectful, and designed to honor your lived experience and self-determination.
Accessible Support
We believe financial barriers shouldn't prevent access to necessary care. Our gender-affirming transition support letters are available on a pay-what-you-can basis. This includes thorough assessments and preparation services to ensure you feel confident and prepared for your healthcare journey.
For Healthcare Providers
We're excited to announce our FREE course through GGOC Ed: Gates & Gatekeepers: An Affirming Approach to Letter Writing. This comprehensive training helps healthcare providers develop competency in supporting trans clients through ethical, affirming letter-writing practices.

$0 - Community Support Tier
Struggling with basic needs
Urgently in need of services
No other options for accessing care
$75 - Supported Access Tier

Ability and desire to support others in the community through your contribution
We encourage you to select the tier that best reflects your financial situation. When possible, your choice of a higher tier directly supports our ability to provide services to other community members in need.
