TCORE
Working every day towards an inclusive world
“I joined BAMSI as a transgender health navigator to serve those in the trans community that need it the most. As a member of the trans community myself, I have had to constantly advocate for myself and navigate through a non-inclusive healthcare system just to be who I am today. My goal is to use my extensive knowledge, both from my personal background and professional experience, to help serve the members of the trans community here around Brockton.”
Here at BAMSI’s Transgender Community Outreach Resources & Empowerment (TCORE) Program, we strive to empower transgender, non-binary, and genderqueer members of the community. From HIV screenings to referrals for gender affirming care, we support clients on every step of their journey. We are a team of trauma-informed and culturally-sensitive care specialists, focusing on meeting clients where they are.
