Transitioning can be difficult in itself, and RAINS understands that it’s even more difficult when you factor in the rural area in which we live and the limited resources that are currently available in the region. RAINS is also aware of the options and resources that can help to support you in your transition locally and nationally and we would love to be able to connect you to those services whenever possible. Knowing that there is still often a gap, however, we have developed the Transitional Support Services to help supplement where needed. Some of the services we can provide range from information, resource connections, direction and guidance on processes, and even funding for services.
RAINS offers this support for transitional needs to help Rainbow (LGBTQ+) Community Members to help them live authentically.
