LGBTQ Wellness Program

LGBTQ Wellness, a program of Caminar, was founded in 2015 to support the mental health of LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, and beyond) community members and allies by providing outreach, education, and advocacy services that encourage social support and holistic wellness. Our vision is for the diverse, multigenerational LGBTQIA+ communities throughout Santa Clara County to benefit from an affirmative culture of wellness. Funding for LGBTQ Wellness is provided primarily by the County of Santa Clara Behavioral Health Services Department.
