Grand Rapids Pride Center’s
Get Involved
The Grand Rapids Pride Center aims to be at the center of a vibrant and inclusive community that supports all LGBTQ individuals.
It’s OK to not be ok.
In response to the ever-increasing mental healthcare needs and constant cuts to affordable, equitable therapy services, the Grand Rapids Pride Center has committed to increasing access to safe and affirming therapy for 2-SLGBTQ+ people and their immediate families.
Since the introduction of our Therapy Assistance Program (TAP) in 2020, we are proud to have supported over 175 people (as of mid-2023) with their mental health journeys and are ready to continue to connect community members and their loved ones with the care that they deserve.
*There is an annual cap on services, per calendar year, due to funding limits and great need. Clients are strongly encouraged to reapply annually to continue to receive this support as needed.
If at any time during therapy a participant feels they need to change therapists, please contact our Health Equity team at health@grpride.org or 616-458-3511 x104
The Grand Rapids Pride Center has a partnership with multiple different affirming therapy offices and our Health Equity Team is happy to connect clients with available providers that would best meet their needs. If clients have an existing therapist or another therapist in mind that they would like to work with, they can note that therapist on the application, and we will connect with them directly to discuss availability, potential involvement, consent, and affirmation of the program’s terms and agreements.
To obtain support, the first step is to fill out the TAP application below. If you need assistance with this paperwork or have any accessibility needs that must be met in order for you to complete this paperwork (such as screen-reading assistance or translation services), please contact the Health Equity Team. We can be reached at health@grpride.org or (616) 458-3511 ext. 104.
