Attendees will also have access to gender-affirming care services such as one-on-one time with a nurse practitioner, routine blood testing, blood pressure reading, and routine hormone therapy.

This does not include potential lab fees. Clients are welcome to use self-pay or insurance, and no one is turned away based on their ability to pay.

CWHC’s Aligning Voice with Identity series is hosting two 4-part virtual educational series during the month of April. Each series will take place on the following Tuesday evenings: April 7th, April 14th, April 21st, and April 28th. Participants are welcome to join either the Level 1 or Level 2 group.

To learn more and register, visit www.chiagowomenshealthcenter.org/aligning-voice-with-identity.

Level 1 from 6:30-7:30pm CT: Empowering Gender-Affirming Voice Fundamentals

Have you wanted your voice to better align with your identity but don’t know where to begin? Or perhaps you have gone down the rabbit-hole of online offerings only to feel overwhelmed or misguided or don’t know how to embody the exercises you’ve found?

In Level 1 of our Aligning Voice with identity Series, participants will spend four sessions learning a holistic approach to gender-affirming voice that prioritizes confidence, ease, and authenticity. Work sessions are highly interactive as we foster a beautifully encouraging environment.

Level 2 from 7:45-8:45pm CT: Gender-Affirming Voice Workout

If you have experienced a voice class at CWHC or worked with John Patrick privately and want to continue your practice with a like-minded community, join us for a weekly workout in April! Participants will get back in shape with Active Breath support and dive deeply into the skills required to build consistency and confidence with their voice. Community building has as much value in this setting as the actual voice work, so participants will find these sessions equally rigorous as they are fun!

Both levels are offered on a sliding scale of $240-$0 per person, or $40-0 per session. Participants are encouraged to pay where they can on the scale. No one will be turned away based on the ability to pay. For questions about payment or the content of the series, please contact us at transhealth@chicagowomenshealthcenter.org.
