At The Children’s Home, we are dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing, and affirming environment for all our residents, including trans and gender non-conforming youth. Your support through our PRIDE fund plays a crucial role in helping these young individuals thrive. Here’s how your donations make a difference:
Therapeutic Support
We allocate funds to provide specialized counseling and therapy services tailored to the unique needs of our trans and gender non-conforming residents. This includes access to mental health professionals who are experienced in LGBTQIA+ issues, ensuring that our youth receive the compassionate and informed care they deserve.
Educational Resources
Your donations help us offer educational materials and programs that promote understanding and acceptance of gender diversity. We provide books, workshops, and seminars for both residents and staff, fostering a supportive and inclusive environment. These resources are essential in building a community where all individuals feel valued and understood.
Journeys Cottage for Transgender Youth
Creating and maintaining safe, gender-affirming spaces within our facilities is a top priority. We are proud to have our Journeys Cottage specifically dedicated to the care of transgender youth. Transgender youth are often over-represented in the foster care system and face a unique set of challenges and trauma experiences. Our dedicated cottage provides a safe and supportive environment where these youth can find solace and understanding.

Our team includes specially trained staff who work competently with trans and gender non-conforming youth to help them cope and heal. These professionals are equipped to address the unique challenges and trauma experiences that transgender youth often face, offering the support and guidance needed for their journey toward healing and growth.
