| Clients
coming to the Persad's Transgender Servces participate in an initial
meeting to determine the nature of their concerns and their goals.
The counseling
that follows helps the individual to achieve their goals. Throughout
the process, a team approach is used to ensure the health, safety
and well-being of the client. The team is designed to assist the
client in making informed choices. Their Gender Team consists
of
the Client, the Medical Director, the Program Director, the Client's
Therapist and any other individual who the client and the therapist
feels will be helpful. The team also works closely with the client's
doctor and assists in the client's adjustment to hormones for
surgery.
Our goal is to assist the client in achieving comfort by assisting
them in transitioning their lives to their preferred gender presentation
and identity.
Persad works with or refers to other professionals to assist clients
in obtaining legal services, primary medical care, hormone therapy,
cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, and self-help group support.
