Gender Health Center

WHO WE ARE: We are a small, Trans and BIPOC/led 501(C)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to ending the pathologization of trans people and creating more equitable access to healthcare and resources through our programs, training, and direct services that prioritize the wellness and joy of Queer, Transgender, Black, Indigenous, People of Color (QTBIPOC). Our programs, training, and direct services support persons and families 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: 

1. We offer low-cost counseling services through our student intern counseling program. At the Gender Health Center, counseling services focus on culturally humble, 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.
2. Our trans-centered healthcare services include our hormone clinic, mobile needle exchange program, PrEP prescriptions, and HIV/STI healthcare, and other harm reduction services.
3. Our student intern community support services program provides Trans people with legal name + gender change assistance, primary medical care provider guidance, and other navigation and referral. We provide training and education on gender identity, mobilization, and education for the friends and family of Trans people.
