Supporting Local Trans Mental Health
Investing back in our local community
Mission
Wild Indigo was created to support Atlanta Trans mental health care. Each year a Trans clinician will be sponsored by our program. The clinician will then be allowed to identify a Trans client in need of financial assistance. Wild Indigo will cover therapy weekly, or bi weekly, up to a year at a competitive market rate.
