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 Treatment for Trans and Gender Diverse (TGD) Youth
Supporting adolescents eligible for hormone treatment involves a team effort between youth, their parents/guardian(s), and their medical and mental health providers. This process involves reviewing the full medical and mental history, discussing goals for hormone treatment, and creating a plan that is unique to each person’s needs.
Some of the supports and resources that our program can offer include:
- Hormone medication management, after working through the program
- Individual therapy for youth and/or parents
- Resources for youth and parents, like support groups, educational resources, and referrals
Our team can discuss the program in detail and answer questions. We can be reached by email at YouthHormoneProgram@howardbrown.org.
