"Cultural Competency training for service providers on issues facing Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) older adults: This training opportunity is available to professionals who provide a service to older adults living in the community or institutional settings. The programs goal is for all seniors to have access to available services without discrimination or oppression.

Notes

"Stigma-free, affirming, affordable therapy for LGBTQIA+ Individuals

Do you live outside of the heteronormative-cisgender box?

Have you been to other supposed “LGBTQ-friendly” counselors who had no idea what you were talking about?

Could you use a safe space to process your feelings and assess your goals?

Are you seeking transition and need a letter for Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?

Or maybe you’re seeking relationship counseling from someone who understands where you’re coming from.

If you can relate to any of the above, then you’ve come to the right place.

No judgements. No biases. Just a strong support system with open ears."
