TransAction

What We Do: TransAction is a health education/risk reduction intervention designed to reduce high-risk sexual and drug behaviors among trans women or anyone who identifies along the trans feminine spectrum.  The intervention focuses on the socio-cultural conditions that are unique to trans feminine individuals, which may increase HIV risk behaviors. The program provides a continuum of culturally responsive services from street-based outreach encounters to site-based groups and one-on-one interventions that work concomitantly to motivate ongoing and sustained HIV risk reductions.  

The program offers a daily meal as well as a daily group.  In addition to educational and skills building groups, the program supports participants in their gender confirmation, presentation, and transition by offering a weekly transitional life skills group with opportunities to style hair, makeup, and nails.

Enrollment: Currently paused.
Program participants are trans women or anyone who identifies along the trans feminine spectrum, at any stage of gender transition; many are in a marginal or transitional living situation.
