Transgender Care: Wellness Protocol
Our approach to care for transgender persons neither implies nor presumes that trans clients have a mental or medical illness. Rather, we believe that trans persons, as a result of oppression, are often stigmatized and isolated, and consequently will benefit from supportive counseling, advocacy, and comprehensive care.
Our goals :
- To ensure the provision of high quality, open-minded, non-judgmental, and supportive health-related services for trans persons, their families, significant others, and other people who are important in their lives.
- To ensure effective interdisciplinary communication and teamwork among providers.
- To offer a pathway to hormonal therapy based on the concept of wellness.
- To provide supportive, trans-positive psychotherapy and gender counseling.
