This guide helps service providers understand the distinctive challenges facing newcomers who are transgender or gender nonconforming (TGNC) and can help agencies that are engaging in training initiatives to ensure that all of their clients have access to appropriate services. It is based on a review of available resources, as well as the experience of Episcopal Migration Ministries’ Rainbow Initiative and its partners, including Clark University’s Integration and Belonging Hub, InReach, the LGBT Asylum Task Force of Hadwen Park Congregational Church, and Oasis Legal Services. A compendium of resources is provided at the end of the guide.
