Persad Center

Support LGBTQ+ Mental Health and Community Care this Give OUT Day

Persad Center provides life-saving mental health services and community support to LGBTQ+ people and those living with HIV across Western Pennsylvania. From therapy and support groups to outreach and training, we’re here for people of all ages—at every stage of life.

Our programs include:

• Individual, couples, and group therapy with LGBTQ+-affirming clinicians

• Outpatient and intensive outpatient mental health treatment

• Trans-affirming services, including support groups for youth, adults, and parents

• Events and programming for LGBTQ+ seniors

• Phoenix Fitness, Pittsburgh’s first gym for the trans and nonbinary community

• Training for businesses, schools, and nonprofits to create safer, more inclusive environments

Every dollar supports programs that help 

LGBTQ+ people thrive—emotionally, physically, and socially.

Your gift makes a real difference:

• A parent finds strength in our TransParent group

• A senior finds community over coffee and shared stories

• A trans teen accesses affirming mental health care from home

• A struggling family gets access to some groceries from our food bank

Help us build a region where every LGBTQ+ person is seen, supported, and celebrated.

Give today. Change a life.
