The story of TransSOCIAL is like that of many trans people, one of adversity and creative problem-solving. 

We started in 2016 with the simple goal of bringing trans and gender-diverse people together in a community space but as we began growing we became increasingly aware of systemic issues affecting trans people. This inspired new program after new program bringing us to where we are today, providing many more services than our original scope. 

Our comprehensive case management for Trans individuals includes legal name and gender marker change assistance, affirming medical and mental health referrals, immigration referrals, and financial assistance with medical and pharmacy co-pays for transition care. 

We offer affirming medical and mental health referrals for anyone in the TLGBQ+ community through our Play Safe Miami program. 

Our peer support group, TransConnect, meets regularly and is open to Trans and questioning individuals and their loved ones to combat the isolation faced by so many Trans people, and our TLGBQ+ Cultural Sensitivity Training is available to healthcare providers, attorneys, therapists, schools, organizations and businesses that want to learn how to make their spaces safe and affirming to TLGBQ+ clients and employees.

With our partner organization, The McKenzie Project, we opened two Joy & Liberation Centers which provide services like a food pantry, a shower space, and the Liberation Lab for black and brown Transgender and Nonbinary individuals. 

And most recently we've started Mayfaire Medical, so we can provide primary care, HIV treatment and prevention care, and gender affirming care for our TLGBQ+ community and allies in both South Florida and Atlanta, Georgia.
