knowledge is power
Our non-profit is working hard to make connections with local clinics, professionals and other organizations in the area to make resources more available to those who are seeking them.
We know that searching for doctors and mental health providers can be tedious, stressful and scary for so many folks. We want to help make this process as safe and easy as possible. We have researched and contacted providers who can provide proper care for the LGBTQ+ community as well as specialized care for the transgender community within the Poconos and the surrounding areas. Additionally, there are support systems for those in need that we have listed as well.
If you are a provider who specializes in LGBTQ+ care, or if you are an individual who currently receives care from a provider that you do not see listed and would like to share, please contact us so we can be in touch to broaden our outreach!
