The Program for LGBTQ Health's Trans Buddy Program is focused on empowering transgender patients by providing emotional support during health care visits. If you are interested in becoming a Trans Buddy volunteer, the first Trans Buddy training of 2020 will take place on Saturday, January 25. Right now, we are seeking more transgender volunteers.

One of the film's stars, Laila Ireland, a retired transgender army combat medic, will be in attendance and hosting a Q&A after the film screening.
