Transgender & Gender Non-Conforming People

 Individuals who are transgender and/or gender-nonconforming have unique insights and often face common challenges as they move through the world. At Safe Haven, we are sensitive to the ways gender identity intersects with trauma and healing. We are attuned to the fact that trans and gender-nonconforming people tend to experience trauma at high rates. At the same time, we understand that a person’s trans or gender-nonconforming identity isn’t necessarily related to their traumatic experiences. In either case, we know that experiences of marginalization or rejection due to gender identity can complicate healing. We are committed to creating safe, compassionate, and supportive spaces for trans and gender-nonconforming individuals to process trauma.
