Facilitators needed! If you are interested in training as a peer support facilitator
The transgender medical transition discussion group is open to those transgender persons over the age of 18 who are choosing to pursue or considering medical intervention in their transition. This may include hormone therapy, voice coaching, or surgeries such as full and zero depth vaginoplasty, phalloplasty, metoidioplasty, mastectomy, breast augmentation, hysterectomy, orchiectomy, labiaplasty, vocal cord alteration, or facial feminizing or masculinizing procedures.

Patchwork support groups are intended to offer a safe space to process feelings and experiences related to life as a transgender, non-binary, gender non-conforming, or intersex person. Support groups are educational and supportive in nature and offer opportunities for selfcare only. The groups are not intended, and are in no way meant to offer, render, or represent legal, psychological or healthcare, or social services advice for any individual or situation. Patchwork support will not be construed to provide legal, medical, mental health or any other type of health or social service. No diagnosis, treatment recommendations or advice regarding any legal, medical or mental health condition or illness are offered or implied. Peer support groups cannot be a substitute for, or alternative to, treatment when a medical or mental health condition is present, nor for advice of qualified legal counsel. Support group members are advised to seek professional services from licensed attorneys, physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists and health care or intervention or social service professionals, if and when necessary.
