Sun, a program representative for LGBTQ Wellness (Kaminar), told the Sunnyvale Human Relations Commission on Oct. 9 that the nonprofit provides countywide peer-support services, group social spaces and trainings for LGBTQ+ people and their allies.

The presentation outlined adult one-to-one peer support, regular support groups (including a trans/nonbinary group and a queer-and-disabled group), a North and South County QT Social, and a youth drop-in center in north San Jose serving ages 13–25. "LGBTQ wellness is a peer support system that functions all across Santa Clara County," Sun said. "We offer 1 to 1 peer support for 2S LGBTQ plus adults, 18 plus, and we also offer peer support groups and social spaces."

The presenter described the youth drop-in center on Zanker Road as open weekdays from 3 to 9 p.m., providing social activities, gender-affirming garments and other supplies. "It's a safe space for queer and trans youth to get together, and explore their identity, access free resources, such as gender-affirming garments," Sun said. She described gender-affirming items available at the youth space as chest binders and similar garments available free of charge.

Sun also listed training offerings the group provides to organizations: a short SOGI 101 (sexual orientation, gender identity and expression) workshop, a longer Understanding Gender/AE training, and an 8-hour Mental Health First Aid course. The nonprofit also produces a Pronoun booklet created through the TransCare Coalition and said slide decks and soft-copy materials are posted on the meeting agenda for download. "If y'all are looking for a shorter version of that, we offer, like, 1 hour workshops," Sun said.

Commissioners asked about partnerships with schools and sources of funding. Sun said the nonprofit is contracted by Santa Clara County to support preventive early-intervention services for adults and that the youth program bills therapy services to full-scope Medi-Cal; she said funding for prevention programs is "precarious" and that the organization does not yet know what funding will look like after December. She described the group's role as front-line peer support, referrals and advocacy letters, and said the group refers clients to clinical gender-affirming clinics and to therapists affiliated with Kaminar who accept Medi-Cal for youth ages 6–25.

Several commissioners praised the presentation and asked about materials and possible training partnerships; Sun said slides and PDFs are posted to the Legistar agenda and offered to follow up by email. "Please don't hesitate to reach out if you wanna learn more," she said.

The commission did not take formal action on the presentation. The session closed with commissioners noting interest in inviting the program to deliver trainings to city staff and in sharing materials with local community partners.
