providing low-barrier wellness services to
trans and gender diverse people

Home

We provide low-barrier wellness and legal services to Two-Sprit, transgender and gender non-conforming people in a way that is respectful and celebratory of clients’ identity and self-expression.

We offer free services to people who need them, regardless of factors like citizenship or health insurance.

Legal

We can help you update your legal name and gender-marker.

We can also answer questions about identification (ID) updates, help you pay for some costs updating your ID, and help you update other identification such as passport, BC service card, and driver’s license.

Counselling

We offer hormone and surgery readiness, and ADHD assessments.

Readiness assessments provide a letter of recommendation from our counsellors, to support your medical access to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or gender-affirming surgeries.

An ADHD assessment can provide an ADHD diagnosis, and support access various supports including medication from your doctor / primary care provider.
