Transhealth is turning 2 years old and you are invited to attend our annual birthday party fundraiser on Saturday, May 6, 2023 at 6:30pm at the Bombyx Center for Arts and Equity in Florence to support our mission of expanding access to gender-affirming care! Inspired by world-renowned Alok Vaid-Menon, we will celebrate, enjoy each other’s company, make a wish, and blow out the candles as we burst with pride and intention into our third year of providing life-saving care and community. Our wish? To work together to secure a healthy, affirming future for all of us through expert care, education, research, and advocacy.

All ages are welcome. The event is fully accessible to wheelchair users. For more information, questions, and accessibility needs contact fundraise@transhealth.org.

The safety and well-being of our supporters is paramount. Masks are strongly recommended. Vaccinations are required. We are actively monitoring the incidence and prevalence of Covid-19 and may change precautions as necessary.

Description: Deep Listening Circles are a practice that nurtures relationships with ourselves and others in an inclusive and reflective environment. Each individual has the opportunity to speak without interruption, to sit in silence, or to pass, cultivating an opportunity for deep listening, respect, and acknowledgment of the importance and validity of each person’s experience and presence. The wholeness of an individual’s experience is welcome in the circle. Participants commitment to attending all four circles.

The circles are led by M. Rudder (they/them/their), a Japanese-American, non-binary, trans, and queer individual who works with others to build empowered communication and to create resilient, inclusive, and vibrant lives, communities, and workplaces centering agency, connection, liberation, presence, and wholeness. For more information and to register, contact M. Rudder at m@mrudder.com.

Starting in February 2023, Transhealth will be hosting “Writing to Heal: A Narrative Processing Group,” a therapeutic group that utilizes the written word. This group aims to promote positive peer relationships through the sharing of stories and writing prompts, decrease judgment and isolation related to self-narratives, and increase one’s access to coping skills for emotional dysregulation. 

“Writing to Heal” is for Queer, Trans, and Gender-Diverse individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, and mental health difficulties. Must be 18 or older to attend. Having an individual therapist is highly encouraged, participants must commit to weekly sessions, and folks will engage with weekly writing prompts in between sessions.

For more information, please see our program flier.

If interested or have questions, please email narrativegroup@transhealth.org to set up an intake screening.

When: Drop-in hours during the week or by appointment. For more information, please email thncommunity@transhealth.org.
