2024 was an exciting year for us to connect with our local LGBTQIA+ community. In April, we cohosted our first Queer & Trans Speed Friending Event with the LA LGBT Center’s Trans* Lounge. We hosted another event in September called ‘A Day of Gender Wellness’—where we provided free mental health resources and an art therapy workshop for trans & gender non-conforming folks in the community.

In 2023, Casey and Grace (that’s us!) received tours of amazing gender-affirming facilities, including the Cedars-Sinai LGBTQ+ Center, the UCLA Gender Health Program, The Doctor West Hollywood, and Trauma & Beyond’s sober living facility, the Athena House. We attended fun community events such as LA LGBT Center’s Models of Pride and JQ International’s Trans Day of Remembrance Wellness Fair. We also hosted a dinner with a guest list of LA’s premiere mental health providers to advocate for TGD individuals in the mental health care space.

In 2022, we attended many amazing conferences and events including Edgy Conference, CCGAC Conference at UCLA, Models of Pride, TransPride at the LA LGBT Center and the LA Pride celebration at Universal Studios.

In 2022, we presented workshops for:

• Members of the San Gabriel Valley Chapter of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists about effective ways to provide support, guidance, and information to Transgender and Non-binary youth community, their families, and allies
• LGBTQ+ pre-teens and teens at Camp Brave Trails in Big Bear, utilizing arts & crafts to create “tool box” of coping mechanisms
• The clinician team at Community West, a treatment center providing comprehensive mental health programs for adolescents and young adults
