DCHS's services are guided and informed by best practices developed by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH). 

All DCHS clinicians and staff members receive basic training about working with gender-expansive students, and should use your chosen name and affirmed pronouns if you have updated that information in Banner or you share it during your visit.

Clinicians on DCHS's Gender Services team specialize in providing gender-affirming services, and will partner with you and take a sensitive and trauma-informed approach to your care.

Yes, DCHS works under an informed consent model. You can work with a medical clinician who specializes in transgender care to evaluate your individual needs, discuss treatment options, and access gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) if appropriate. Our clinicians can also work with your home health care team to continue care that you may have established elsewhere.
