As we honor International Transgender Day of Visibility this April, we spotlight both the resilience of our trans community and the critical challenges they face, particularly regarding proposed legislation affecting trans youth in California. At Gather & Grow, we remain steadfast in our commitment to providing affirming care and support services while actively advocating against discriminatory policies that impact our transgender community members.
We're thrilled to announce our new free online course "Gates & Gatekeepers" - a heartfelt initiative to transform how mental health professionals support our transgender and gender-expansive community members. Through engaging video lectures, practical templates, and collaborative exercises, we'll explore ways to move beyond traditional gatekeeping towards becoming caring advocates in gender-affirming care. Join us in building a more compassionate, accessible pathway to care for our trans community.
Gather & Grow OC provides accessible, affirming assessment and letter-writing services for gender-affirming care. With sliding-scale fees and a collaborative approach, we're here to support your healthcare journey with dignity and respect.
