Message of Support for Trans Youth and Resources

In light of recent national events concerning health care for trans youth, the counseling team and mental health provider at Inglemoor want to express our concern and care for trans students at IHS.  We know that trans youth frequently experience exclusion, lack of representation, and concerns over physical safety, and that these challenges are often serious obstacles to mental/emotional well-being.  The counseling staff at IHS is committed to supporting our trans students.  Please reach out to counseling staff if you are concerned for any student facing these challenges.
