Transitioning Support and Funding
M-Power United is committed to providing comprehensive support and financial assistance for individuals navigating gender transition. Our Transitioning Support and Funding initiatives are designed to empower individuals to live authentically and comfortably in their gender identity by offering a range of resources, services, and financial assistance. From access to medical procedures and legal support to social networks and affirming spaces, we strive to ensure that everyone has the support they need to navigate their transition with dignity and confidence.
Goals:
Access to Medical Procedures: Facilitate access to gender-affirming medical procedures, including hormone therapy, gender-affirming surgeries, and other necessary treatments, to support individuals in aligning their physical appearance with their gender identity.
Legal Support and Resources: Provide legal guidance, resources, and referrals to assist individuals with name changes, gender marker changes, and navigating legal processes related to transition, ensuring that individuals have the necessary documentation to affirm their identity.
Financial Assistance: Offer financial assistance and grants to help cover the costs associated with gender transition, including medical expenses, counseling services, and other transition-related expenses that may pose financial barriers to individuals.
Social Support Networks: Create affirming and supportive spaces where individuals can connect with peers, share experiences, and receive emotional support throughout their transition journey, fostering a sense of community and solidarity.
Education and Advocacy: Raise awareness about the challenges faced by transgender and non-binary individuals in accessing transition-related care and advocate for policies and practices that ensure equitable access to gender-affirming healthcare and support services.
Culturally Competent Care: Advocate for culturally competent and inclusive healthcare practices that recognize and affirm the diverse needs of transgender and non-binary individuals, ensuring that healthcare providers are trained to provide respectful and affirming care to all patients.
Note: Support services only available for 18+ legal adults!
