ABOUT THIS EVENT

During this webinar, social workers from the Transgender Wellness program of Out Youth will discuss resources now available to clients during the COVID-19 economic crisis.

We will provide an overview of helping clients apply for benefits and direct financial assistance. We will also review strategies for self-advocacy related to housing and avenues for exploring community-generated resources and referrals. Finally, we will discuss the referral process for receiving case management and other assistance via the Transgender Wellness program and discuss other local resources.

This event is held in honor of Francis Mijares, FNP, passionate advocate for responsive medical care for the trans community as the founder of Zest Family Medicine. Francis was a founding member of the coalition and will be missed dearly by many in the community.
