supporting the south coast trans and nonbinary community

More so than other marginalized members of society, transgender and nonbinary individuals are subjected on a daily basis to an extreme level of harassment, violence, and discrimination. They live at higher rates of poverty. They receive subpar health care. They are often denied basic legal rights. Worst of all, transgender and nonbinary youth attempt suicide at a much higher rate than other young people. By supporting this vibrant and vital community and encouraging others in the South Coast to do the same, we can help transgender and nonbinary individuals overcome their challenges in their quest to live life on their own terms. 

the south coast trans and nonbinary support group

This informal gathering of the trans and nonbinary community meets bi-weekly in Westport, Mass. (with social distancing observed). It is moderated by a peer leader and a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in LGBTQ+ issues, and it provides a safe and nurturing environment for individual to discuss the challenges they face - and to celebrate their wonderfully unique place in the world.
