Project HEALTH has regional HEALTH Councils around the state of California that join community members and providers together to address health care issues that are imperative to transgender and gender-queer communities locally. We hope that by having a group of dedicated individuals, we can affect specific local change and be better advocates to our immediate communities.
The purposes of the HEALTH Council are:
- To choose a local public policy that negatively influences access to transgender health and create an appropriate campaign to affect change.
- To provide a structured, supportive, empowering, and confidential environment in which to work on organizing for change, receive trainings, and connect with peers and allies.
- To participate in creating a powerful model for expanding access to care for transgender people.
HEALTH Council Member Qualifications and Roles:
- Participate in transgender health care either as a recipient, provider or advocate.
- Speak and write comfortably in English.
- Commit to respecting that other Panel Members may have different experiences, needs, and points of view.
- Commit to attending 75% of HEALTH Council meetings.
- Agree to serve on the HEALTH Council for one year.
- Actively and appropriately participate in HEALTH Council meeting discussions.
Project HEALTH staff will attend quarterly meetings, although we anticipate the need for monthly working meetings that will be organized by a member of the council. Ultimately, members may choose to meet more or less frequently depending on goals and agendas.
