LOS ANGELES LGBT CENTER

Programs

1. Health services: the center is one of the nation's largest and most experienced providers of lgbt health and mental health care. We're also one of the few federally qualified health centers in the nation specifically for lgbt people. Our medical providers specialize in caring for lesbian and gay people, bisexual men and women, and transgender men and women. We also offer hiv and aids specialty care and free hiv and aids testing and prevention programs, counseling services, domestic violence services, a clinical research program and a full-service pharmacy. Virtually all of our services are low-cost or free.

2. Youth services: the center is a vital social safety net for the lgbt community and a safe, welcoming place where individuals can find help, as well as hope, when they most need it. Homeless lgbt youth and their allies turn to us for meals, clothing, counseling, medical care and a wide range of services, including a safe home for a night or for up to 18 months. We also help all lgbt youth reach their full potential through one-on-one mentoring, scholarships, a charter high school, the world's largest free conference for lgbt youth (models of pride) and much more. To help build stronger families, we provide support services, activities and events for lgbt parents and their children and advocate for them in schools. We're also leading efforts to help end anti-lgbt bigotry on school campuses and even the thought of suicide among lgbt students. And we're revolutionizing the care and treatment of lgbt youth in the foster system to help them not only feel safe and loved, but to develop lasting family connections.
