WHO WE ARE: We are a small, peer-led, Transgender and People of Color focused 501(C)3. We provide an array of programs, trainings, and direct services that center the health and wellness of Queer and Transgender People of Color (QTPOC) in Sacramento and surrounding counties. We are one of the very few non-profits that cater specifically to transgender people in Northern California.
WHAT WE DO: We offer low-cost therapy through our student intern counseling program. At the Gender Health Center, counseling services focus on queer-informed narrative therapy. This modality of therapy utilizes the power of peoples’ personal stories. Community members are encouraged, through a respectful and cooperative relationship, to address the issues in their lives that exist amidst social, political, and cultural contexts.
Our trans-centered healthcare services include our hormone clinic, needle exchange program, PrEP prescriptions and HIV/STD healthcare, and harm reduction services.
Our student intern Advocacy program provides Trans people with legal name + gender change assistance, primary medical care provider guidance and many more odds and ends. We provide training and education on gender identity, mobilization, and education for the friends and family of Trans people.
