History

TRANS: THRIVE, which stands for Transgender Resource and Neighborhood Space (TRANS), and Transgender Health & Resource Initiative for Vital Empowerment (THRIVE) is the new incarnation of the transgender drop-in started by UCSF and transferred to Asian & Pacific Islander Wellness Center. The project is a result of a three month collaborative planning process by the San Francisco Department of Public Health, Community Behavioral Health Services and the Asian & Pacific Islander Wellness Center. TRANS: THRIVE is made possible by the generous continuation of a grant from the Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), which has been the primary funder since the program’s inception.
