Marcy:
I live in Cathedral City and I want to pass along some organizations that may be able to help:
Desert Aids Project, Palm Springs
General Number: 760.323.2118, Social Services: 760.323.2188
https://www.desertaidsproject.org/
They started out providing HIV/AIDS treatment about 30 years ago, but have evolved into a full health care center for the LGBT community with medical care, mental health care, dental care and connection to social services.
Transgender Health and Wellness Center, Cathedral City
Office: 760.202.4308, Toll Free: 833.944.5433
https://www.trans.health/
Since 2017 they have helped trans people navigate the healthcare system, have organized support groups and provided mental health and hair removal services.
The LGBT Community Center of the Desert, Palm Springs
General Number: 760.416.7790
https://www.thecenterps.org/
They have behavioral health services, a food bank and trans support groups.
I know people in all 3 organizations and they put a lot of effort into supporting the community…
