NOTICE: Howard Brown Health is aware of the recent executive order regarding gender-affirming care for minor youth and adults aged 18. The order has no immediate impact on our operations, and we will be monitoring developments working with our partners. We are continuing to provide gender-affirming care to all patients who rely on our services and remain committed to improving the health of trans and gender diverse communities.
Hormone Therapy for Trans and Gender Diverse (TGD) Youth
Howard Brown Health is committed to improving the health of TGD people of all ages.
The steps to getting hormone therapy are different for people under 18 than for adults. Our process for supporting minor-aged youth looking for hormones involves a team effort between youth, their parents/guardian(s), and their medical and mental health providers to discuss medical history, decide goals for hormone therapy and create a plan unique to each person’s needs.
Here are some of the supports and resources that our program can offer:
- HRT after working through the program
- Individual therapy for you and/or your parents
- Family therapy and consultation
- Resources for youth and parents, like support groups, educational resources, and referrals
Our team can discuss the youth hormone program in detail with you and answer your questions. You can reach us by email at YouthHormoneProgram@howardbrown.org.
