Southern LGBTQ Health Initiative

Our Southern LGBTQ Health Initiative is a partnership with Western NC Community Health Services to expand access to LGBTQ-friendly primary care, HIV care, and support services at Southern community health centers.

Southern LGBTQ Health Survey

The 2019 Southern LGBTQ Health Survey includes responses from more than 5,600 Southern LGBTQ people, one of the largest samples ever of LGBTQ Southerners talking specifically about their health. The Survey report covers new data about LGBTQ Southerners’ physical and mental health; overall quality of care; experiences with depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and self-harming behaviors; and experiences with HIV.

Southern Trans Health Focus Group Project

“The Report of the 2018 Southern Trans Health Focus Group Project”, released in December 2018, documents the findings of a community-based research project through which diverse transgender Southerners across six states shared in-depth accounts of their experiences related to health issues and accessing health care.

2019 LGBTQ Health Equity Community Grants

In August 2019, the Campaign for Southern Equality awarded $30,000 in community grants focused on transforming the landscape of LGBTQ health equity in the South. This infusion of funding to organizations on the leading edge of serving LGBTQ Southerners supported new models in the South that increase access to care and ensure that people are treated with dignity and respect in health care settings. Grantees included WNCCHS, CHOICES Memphis, Gender Benders, and Nationz Foundation.
