Resources for Families of Trans Youth in North Carolina

North Carolina’s gender-affirming care ban, HB808, prohibits the initiation of any gender-affirming care in North Carolina for people under the age of 18, including puberty-delaying medication, hormone therapy, and surgery. The law is currently in effect. It does not restrict care that has already been initiated – young people who were already receiving a “course of treatment” prior to August 1, 2023 can continue receiving that care.

Youth can still access mental health care, which is not restricted or banned by this law. Youth and their families may also travel to access care in other states where gender-affirming care has not been restricted.

The Campaign for Southern Equality and Equality NC are working with partners across North Carolina to provide resources and information to impacted families. Click here to learn more about the Trans Youth Emergency Project.

Resource Guide for Those Impacted by HB808

We know this is a very challenging time filled with many questions. The Campaign for Southern Equality, Equality NC, and other partners have developed a resource guide with up-to-date information and concrete resources about the law and how families can get support.

Digital Toolkit to Spread the Word

It is critical that we get the word out to families and young people about resources that are available, including support identifying in-state and out-of-state care and emergency funding. Thank you for helping to share information with your networks. Please use these templates to share information with your email lists, social media networks, and in-person community spaces.

Emergency Grants & Patient Navigation for Impacted Families

The Trans Youth Emergency Project offers custom 1-on-1 conversations with the families of transgender youth impacted by the anti-transgender healthcare law in North Carolina – as well as rapid response emergency grants of $500 to help parents and caregivers to youth navigate this challenging time. Grants can be made to the parent/caregiver of an impacted youth. To learn more about these grants and to request one, fill out the form below. After filling out this form, a representative from the Trans Youth Emergency Project will reach out to you via email to begin assisting you.

NC Town Hall About HB808 & Other Laws

On Monday, August 21 at 7pm ET, ACLU of NC, Campaign for Southern Equality, Equality NC, and Planned Parenthood South Atlantic hosted a virtual event focused on helping families understand a slate of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation that has passed in North Carolina. At the event, we discussed the new laws and shared resources that are available, including patient navigation support, referrals to out-of-state gender-affirming care, and emergency grants for families of transgender youth.
