Legal Gender and Name Change Support
The Pride Center of Terre Haute offers a Legal Gender and Name Change (LGNC) Support Team.
We provide support for people navigating legal gender and name change processes so they do not have to do it alone. We provide general information, help with filling out forms, court support (accompanying people to court dates), connections to lawyers if needed, and continued support after the legal change to update other documents.
Below is a link to more information about the various legal name and gender change processes in Indiana. These are guides from Indiana Legal Services that provide detailed information about each step, as well as the necessary forms for adults and minors:

Post-Surgery Care Kits
The Pride Center of Terre Haute recognizes the need within our community to provide a variety of resources for individuals who undergo a gender-affirming treatment or procedure. We provide care kits which include items like bandage supplies, hygiene products, over-the-counter ointments, comforting items, snacks, and more.
Request a post-surgery Care Kit or Support here.
Make sure your healthcare providers know the Transgender Health Standards of Care! This article includes clear guidance for healthcare professionals to provide affirming care to transgender patients.
Healthcare Initiative
We are seeking healthcare professionals representing all areas of healthcare to become LGBTQ+ affirming providers. Help make resources more easily identifiable by patients, referral sources, and LGBTQ+ serving organizations by adding your information to the following healthcare directories!
Healthcare Clinic
The Pride Center of Terre Haute is partnering together with a local, licensed physician to bring you a dedicated gender affirming care clinic hosted at the Pride Center for patients aged 18 and older. Services include consultations, hormone therapy management, mental health resources, follow-up care, and more. Our clinics will occur on the third Saturdays of each month from 12-5pm at the Pride Center.
Individuals interested in scheduling an appointment must register in advance and can sign up for a gender affirming care membership ($20 per month). Please create a patient profile in the physician's SigmaMD electronic health record here: gsdpc.com/pride.
Feel free to use your used name rather than your legal name, if different. Legal identification information will be collected elsewhere if needed.
More information about cost can be found below:
While our physician does not accept insurance; insurance may be used to cover labs and prescriptions that are ordered. She also seeks to provide affordable cash priced options for labs and medications so that all patients can access gender affirming care, regardless of insurance status. The general cost is $20 per month with $100 per appointment. If this is not affordable to you, financial assistance may be available. Please let the physician know so you can explore options together. Membership may be ended at any time for no additional charge.​
Request a Presentation or Training
Interested in hosting a training for your organization to learn how to support the LGBTQIAP+ community? We are happy to prepare a presentation for your organization! Our team is able to present on a wide variety of topics and issues related to the LGBTQIAP+ community. Depending on the program, we do request a registration fee to supplement the costs to develop and deliver the material. All funds go directly to Pride Center operations, services, and programs. Please contact us to determine if your presentation request would require a registration fee.
