Trans: Thrive stands for Transgender Resource and Neighborhood Space (Trans), and Transgender Health & Resource Initiative for Vital Empowerment (Thrive)
Trans: Thrive is the incarnation of the transgender drop-in started by UCSF and transferred to SF Community Health Center. As part of SF Community Health Center, Trans Thrive includes all services provided for the Trans/GNC community at SFCHC. Trans Thrive is more than a drop in center, it’s services for US, by US.
We aim to create safe spaces, events and services for the entire trans/GNC community. From case management and medical services (including Primary Care, HRT and Needle Exchange), to mental health and substance use support, to social groups and special events, to a drop in center (with snacks and refreshments, clothing closet and a computer lab), we have it all! We are trans services for US, by US. Together, we can get to health, wellness, and equality. Everyone is respected in this space!
The Trans Thrive Drop-In space is open five days a week at 1460 Pine St (between Larkin & Polk Streets) from 2–4:30pm
Folks who come to the drop-in for the first time are asked to fill out an intake form and meet with a staff member to discuss expectations and the benefits of the drop-in space, which include: a lounge, computer lab, clothing closet, and other amenities. Everyday there are groups (with food) on various topics.
