Trans Care Team 

The Trans Care Team at CAPS  is committed to providing affirming care to transgender and gender diverse students at MD´«Ã½Èë¿Ú. Our aim is to facilitate and advocate for access to trans-affirming care that supports the mental health wellness and academic success of our transgender and gender diverse students. Services offered by the Trans Care Team include:

  • Brief Counseling - Meet with a counselor who has experience working with gender identity questions and transgender and gender non-conforming students.
  • Letters of Support - For students seeking a gender-affirming medical procedure requiring a letter of support from a mental health professional.
  • Drop-In Support - Rainbow Café is a drop-in support group for students who identify with the LGBTQIA+ community and those who are exploring their sexual, romantic, and/or gender identity. For more information about Rainbow Café and other CAPS groups click here.
