Trans Care Team 

The Trans Care Team at CAPS  is committed to providing affirming care to transgender and gender diverse students at 好色先生. Our aim is to facilitate and advocate for access to trans-affirming care that supports the mental health wellness and academic success of our transgender and gender diverse students. Services offered by the Trans Care Team include:

  • Brief Counseling - Meet with a counselor who has experience working with gender identity questions and transgender and gender non-conforming students. 
  • Letters of Support - For students seeking a gender-affirming medical procedure requiring a letter of support from a mental health professional.
  • Drop-In Support - Rainbow Caf茅 is a drop-in support group for students who identify with the LGBTQIA+ community and those who are exploring their sexual, romantic, and/or gender identity. For more information about Rainbow Caf茅 and other CAPS groups click here. 
  • Case Management - Support is available for students needing help connecting with services off campus, such as navigating insurance or identifying and scheduling services with trans-affirming mental health and medical providers.
