Who is this for?

How help usually works
LGBTQ+ health centers provide affirming primary care, hormone therapy, and mental health services. Community centers offer support groups, youth programs, and social services. Legal organizations help with name and gender marker changes.
Best first steps
- Search for an LGBTQ+ health center near you for affirming primary care and mental health services.
- For youth needing support, contact The Trevor Project: 1-866-488-7386 (24/7).
- For legal name or gender marker changes, contact an LGBTQ+ legal organization for guidance.
- Community centers offer drop-in support, groups, and referrals — many are walk-in.
What to bring
Insurance card if you have one. Many LGBTQ+ health centers accept all insurance and offer sliding-scale fees.
Emergency vs. standard help
Emergency: Call The Trevor Project (youth) or 988 for crisis support. Standard: Schedule health appointments or visit community centers.
