(Especially if you’re not in the Twin Cities)
Outside of being a volunteer for RECLAIM!, I work as a School Counselor at a public high school in the Twin Cities area. I am often asked to help students and families find community resources to help them with a variety of needs, from transportation, to medical assistance, and everything in between. When I was in graduate school, I was surprised by how limited my knowledge was when it came to finding LGBTQIA+ specific resources. I could think of county and state services, but when it came to specific agencies with the mission to help queer youth, I drew a blank, even as a queer adult.

I found I wasn’t alone. Many organizations help people from all backgrounds, which is wonderful, but sometimes you want to be able to contact an organization that you know is going to understand and value core pieces of your identity.

From the American Psychological Association:

"Government bans on gender-affirming care disregard body of research, legal role of parents and caregivers, resolution states"
