Not everyone goes by solely she/her, he/him, or they/them. We spoke to 10 people who use varied pronouns about their identities and how to respect them.

Visibility

Today is about uplifting and celebrating the voices of trans people. There will never be enough visibility in a world that so desperately wants to silence, diminish and erase us. Being loud and proud in this world takes immense courage, vulnerability and bravery.

For the trans community, visibility allows for connection, community building and the opportunity to see yourself reflected in others. For the cis community, TDOV (and honestly every other day of the year) represents an opportunity to listen to the lived experiences of trans people and to take direct action to support trans liberation and freedom.

“Q***r Peers” – Teen Therapy Group

Introducing an 8-week virtual therapy group for LGBTQQIA+ teens ages 14-18.
Meeting online every Thursday from 5 pm-6 pm from March 11th- April 29th.

COVID-19 has significantly impacted the way our teens and youth can build community, cultivate authentic connections, and socialize with peers. According to the Trevor Project (2020), “an unintended consequence of physical distancing is the potential loss of the social connections that protect LGBTQ youth from suicidality.”

Through a relationally-focused approach, “Q***r Peers” hopes to decrease the isolation and loneliness experienced by adolescents. The virtual group will mix psycho-education, skill-building, and discussion-based work to support LGBTQ+ youth in developing social-emotional skills, enhancing social connectedness, and coping with the strains of COVID-19. Content is not solely focused on sexual orientation or gender identity, but the facilitators, as two q***r individuals themselves, recognize the need to have an environment for q***r gender-diverse youth to build community and connect in a safe space. Hannah and Cass are intentional around grounding their work in anti-oppressive and culturally responsive care.

Sliding Scale Fee: $30-40 per session or $240-320 for the full 8 weeks
*Please reach out about our limited reduced/free spots*

Meet the Facilitators:

Hannah Bio: Hannah Gandsey LCSW (she/her/hers) is a q***r attachment-focused trauma psychotherapist specializing in adolescents and their families. Hannah has training in somatic, cognitive & behavioral, family therapy, and EMDR approaches to best address trauma, attachment and relational wounds, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and suicidality/self-harm.

Cass Bio: Cass Daniels, LCSW (he/him/his) is a transgender and q***r therapist who specializes in providing mental health and substance use counseling for the LGBTQQIA+ community and their loved ones.

This month I had the amazing opportunity to collaborate with Focus on Health (fohealth.org) and Perrier (yes, the carbonated water company) to discuss sustainable substance use recovery and the relationship with social/mental health.

From Focus on Health: Mindfulness Matters is our Dry January initiative in partnership with Perrier. Dry January is a public health campaign urging people to abstain from alcohol for the month of January.

We wanted to take this initiative and encourage individuals to implement sustainable and mindful practices to establish healthy habits in their day to day.

Wellness doesn't have to end after 30 days.

Throughout the month of January we will share panel discussions, short stories, podcasts , Q and As that discuss mindfulness through our five pillars of wellness and host a series of live events. All of our content is made with the help of food and beverage collaborators.

I often hear clients say that taking time to slow down and engage in self-care feels selfish. However, we won’t have anything left to give to others unless we are taking care of ourselves first.

Self-care is not selfish, it is necessary.

For Giving Tuesday, consider donating to the Colorado Name Change Project! They do incredible work supporting the trans community by providing free resources and education about changing legal documents.

This year alone, the Colorado Name Change Project has hosted more than a dozen name/gender marker update workshops, provided microgrants to 17 individuals, performed over 25 remote notarizations, generated name change forms for hundreds of Coloradans, and maintained a dedicated COVID-19 page that provides the latest information from county, state, and federal agencies on the name/gender marker update process.

This , your support can enable us to continue providing these essential, free resources and services to the Colorado transgender community. If you’re able to give financially, we encourage you to do so, but if not, we'd greatly appreciate you sharing this post or even creating your own fundraiser.
