A policy (S.B. 63) banning gender-affirming care for youth under the age of 18 is currently in the Kansas state legislature, and families are are worried about what happens if the bill becomes law. That’s why advocates are coming together for a virtual event focused on helping families navigate the landscape of gender-affirming care while feeling supported and uplifted by their communities.
On Tuesday, February 18 from 6:00-7:00pm CDT we hosted this special event, in partnership with Equality Kansas, Loud Light, and the Campaign for Southern Equality.
At the event, we discussed resources available, including patient navigation support, referrals to out-of-state gender-affirming care, and $500 emergency grants available four times per year. Additionally, community partners shared about the resources available through their organizations. And there was plenty of time for questions.
Need immediate support? If you need help finding out-of-state providers of gender-affirming care or funding for travel, mental health expenses, or whatever you need, please get in touch here.
