    OutCare Health Celebrates Transgender Day of Visibility 2022

    By croman | LGBTQ+, Non-binary, Transgender | Comments are Closed | 31 March, 2022 | 0

    INDIANAPOLIS — Today, OutCare Health, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) health equity organization, celebrates Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV). Held annually on March 31, Trans Day of Visibility is an annual awareness day celebrated around the world. The day is dedicated to celebrating the accomplishments of transgender and gender-nonconforming people while raising awareness of the work that still needs to be done to achieve trans justice.

    “Transgender community members continue to face discrimination, stigma, violence, and barriers to opportunity, especially in healthcare. Along with other social determinants of health, this significantly affects the physical, mental, and behavioral health of transgender adults and youth. Transgender people also face unique challenges in their ability to access health insurance and receive adequate care. As we celebrate visibility today, we must also shed light on people of color who experience multiple dimensions of individual and systemic discrimination. There’s much work to be done and OutCare is dedicated to educating and training providers across the nation to help bridge this gap.”

    To provide support and resources for trans and nonbinary community members, OutCare Health is honored to launch our OutReach: Community Building & Support program. OutCare’s OutReach program builds and supports the LGBTQ+ community through engaging and thoughtful sessions led by community members from across the country. These FREE virtual sessions—including mindfulness, sound bowl healing, trans and nonbinary support groups, and yoga—will elevate voices and provide calming environments for the LGBTQ+ community.

    OutCare applauds the White House’s efforts to advance health equity and expand access to gender-affirming health care to support transgender patients. Visibility matters, and so many transgender, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming individuals are speaking up and sharing their stories. On this day of visibility, we must continue to uplift and provide support to individuals and their families.

    To learn more about the OutReach program, crucial research, local resources, and cultural competency training, reach out to us or visit our website.
