The 4 other Trans-led agencies are Arianna's Center, Transinclusive Group, The McKenzie Project, and Bridging the Gap. I believe the Trans Collaborative Network is also Trans-led but I'm unsure. We are currently piloting our rural Trans health program in Bay County, and folks can get in touch with us through TransSOCIAL's Play Safe Miami programwww.playsafemiami.com. We can only accept low-income clients at the moment, so we have to screen each applicant.
CHOW group discussions are open to all – chef, servers, bussers, bartenders, owners, suppliers, farmers, writers, dishwashers, and industry veterans. Virtual meetings can be accessed from any location, please be aware of the time zones listed.
Cada semana el día Martes. Las reuniones son organizadas por LARA.

Art as Healing
The heart of our organization is art. Yaya always had a pencil, paintbrush, or tattoo gun in hand. Art was her therapy, her healthy escape, and her means of expression when she didn't know how to put into words how she was feeling. The importance of her art is not just based on how successful she was becoming but more so on what the art did for her in her more challenging moments. We live her legacy through her art and share the healing art provided for her. We currently run two Art as Healing programs that are curated between our organization and local artists to bring a unique, fun, and therapeutic experience to those in recovery, their families, and people who use drugs.

Anti-Stigma 101
Stigma is a negative attitude or belief that is attached to a person or group. It can lead to discrimination, prejudice, and social exclusion. Stigma can be based on a person's race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, mental health, or substance use. Stigma can have a profound impact on people's lives. It can make it difficult for people to seek help, get jobs, and maintain relationships. It can also lead to feelings of shame, isolation, and hopelessness. Yaya Por Vida is committed to fighting stigma and promoting understanding and compassion. We believe that everyone deserves to be treated with respect, regardless of their background or experiences.

Mental Health, Substance Use Disorder & STD Referral Navation
Mental health is just as important as physical health. It is a state of well-being in which an individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and can make a contribution to his or her community. Mental health challenges are common. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), one in five adults in the United States experiences a mental illness each year. Yaya Por Vida provides a variety of mental health referral navigation, including counseling, psychiatry, crisis intervention, crisis support, and inpatient treatment providers. We are committed to helping people achieve and maintain good mental health.
Dance (Rave) Safety
Dance parties, clubbing, bar hopping and raves can be a lot of fun, but it's important to be safe. Here are some tips for staying safe at dance parties and raves:
-
Plan ahead: Know your destination and companions. Inform someone of your plans and expected return.
-
Hydrate and eat before, during, and after the event to stay alert and avoid dehydration.
-
Limit alcohol intake to avoid impaired judgment and vulnerability.
-
Be aware of your surroundings; watch your belongings and friends.
-
Don’t accept drinks, drugs, or cigarettes from strangers.
-
If uncomfortable or unsafe, leave the party without hesitation.
