Please join CWHC for a know your rights training and Q&A on access to gender affirming care, hosted by our partners at Legal Council for Health Justice. The training will include a discussion of federal attacks on gender affirming care, Illinois state law protections, and safety planning for continued access to care. This training will be held online, on Wednesday, May 21st, from 5:30-7pm Central Time.

Legal Council for Health Justice works with Illinois communities to overcome and dismantle barriers to the care and services they need to stay healthy, fed, and housed. Legal Council’s programs serve individuals and families facing barriers due to chronic, disabling, and stigmatizing health and social conditions. Their work combines direct representation, education, and advocacy across the city, state, and nation. Founded as AIDS Legal Council of Chicago in 1987 in response to the unique and urgent legal needs among people diagnosed with HIV, the agency broadened its focus beyond single-disease advocacy and changed its name to Legal Council for Health Justice in 2014.
