Your Support Team
We have been providing support and hormone/gender-affirming surgery education since 2013, with our founder, Darnell Jones RPH. We’ve grown to offer a full suite of resources and services by out trans/gender non-conforming led team, which has expanded to include pharmacists, physician, therapist, client advocates and peer counselors. Transcend is the support team to help guide you to where you want to go.
After the loss of our founder, we re-built our programs and services and in 2017, assisted over 130+ tgnc folks (youth to elderly), and their families in the Metro Detroit/surrounding area. We offer transition counseling, and offer referrals to allied doctors. We offer pathways with physicians that do not mandate therapists as a means to get access to desired medical treatments (this is called informed consent). We provide mental health referrals with allied therapists to support you and your goals (not gate-keep).
Transcend has also conducted research, driven by our community, with support from our data analysis partners with the University of Michigan. We learned a lot about how inter-connected our health needs are, and how heavily weighted support is in this equation. This is why we approach our clients through a whole-systems, holistic lens, and connect with resources beyond healthcare to social connections.
All of our services are, and always will be, free for the community.
