Family Service Agency of DeKalb County has been providing counseling, advocacy, and other essential services to DeKalb County since 1956. We can assist individuals and families from birth through the end of life, no matter the circumstances.

From the website:
"A HISTORY OF REJECTION: Haircuts are historically gendered: Salons for women. Barbershops for men. This leaves the trans community feeling uncomfortable, unwelcome and unsure.
A FUTURE OF ACCEPTANCE: Strands For Trans is bringing gays, straights, women, men, anyone, together to create more trans-friendly barbershops and hair salons. Join in and let’s help this community feel welcome."

The website features a map with participating barbershops and salons, and their addresses and phone numbers. You can zoom in on your area to see what's nearby!
