Ingersoll Gender Center

Peer Support Group - Our trans led weekly peer support groups are regularly attended by an average of 40-65 community members who identify as transgender, gender diverse, non-binary, and/or significant others/allies. These meetings allow a reliable and safe space for these folks to come together for affirming conversations, meaningful information, and mutual support. Each week, the 2-hour meetings offer different/variety of smaller breakout groups for the participants.Trained volunteer peer-facilitators from our own communities navigate the weekly meetings. In 2022, Ingersoll has resumed once monthly in-person meetings in addition to maintaining online video meetings implemented during the pandemic.

Community Support Engagement Through our website, we maintain a statewide information resource and medical provider and therapist database. In addition, we host an online group listserve that allows medical providers, counselors, and therapists to engage with each other about best practices and services for the transgender and gender diverse communities. We also do outreach and engagement to ensure communities know about our services.
