The Gender Identity Project (GIP) works to inform and educate professional counselors and other service providers, the lesbian, gay, and bisexual communities, the civil bureaucracy and the general public on gender identity issues and the needs of the transgender communities. This is accomplished through on and offsite presentations, educational support group sessions, workshops and sensitivity/diversity trainings throughout the NY metropolitan area.

What is Trans Care?

Trans Care is the principal training offered by the GIP and seeks to offer service providers working in health and mental health, education, housing, employment, corrections, substance abuse, legal services, youth services and entitlements, as well as community-based organizations and private practice, insight about people of transgender experience, and the transgender communities so they may be more effective in serving these populations. This workshop emphasizes the history, needs and voices of trans-people and the communities they inhabit and is typically configured in two or more, 1 ½ to 2-hour segments. In addition, specialized 1 hour modules focusing on specific practice areas are continually being added.
