Trans Care Team 

The Trans Care Team at CAPS  is committed to providing affirming care to transgender and gender diverse students at CSULB. 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.

Please note that for students seeking a letter of support, you will not be asked questions about the medical procedure you are seeking at the time of scheduling your appointment.
