Santa Cruz Transgender Program at The Diversity Center
The Diversity Center offers people who find themselves somewhere on the transgender spectrum a place to meet others, access transgender resources, and explore the possibilities in a respectful and caring environment. We offer two support groups for transgender individuals, both held at The Diversity Center. For support group information please see "Support Groups" under Mental Health Resources.
Other Diversity Center Transgender Activities - The Diversity Center is proud to be in collaboration with Planned Parenthood Mar Monte's Westside Health Center, bringing Santa Cruz Trans Care to you. This means that, besides social and emotional support resources, trans clients now have access to low or no cost health care services. The Westside Clinic provides comprehensive healthcare services, delivered with care and compassion to our transgender community. As part of our Santa Cruz Trans Care program, The Diversity Center can help with qualified gender therapy referrals, as well. Our community collaboration efforts are increasing providers' knowledge, commitment and skills in delivering state of the art transgender care.
