Spectrum’s Statement on US vs Skrmetti

On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6–3 to uphold Tennessee’s law banning gender-affirming care for minors. This decision allows states to block access to puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and other essential medical care for trans youth.

At Spectrum Youth & Family Services, we stand unequivocally with trans youth. Read our full statement at the link.

Our work continues…

No matter how you feel about the election results, Spectrum has been and will continue to be here for all youth.

We have done all this in the past. We will do it now. We will do it in the future.

Mentors Needed!

You don’t need to be a hero or a trained counselor. Spectrum mentors spend time doing activities and setting goals with a young person between the ages of 12 and 22 who needs a positive adult role model.

Spectrum Mentors and Mentees are matched based on shared interests and meet at least twice a month. We have a particular need for male mentors of color, and LGBTQ+ identified mentors. Click here to learn more about Spectrum’s Mentoring Program.

Change both your life and the life of a youth!

This year at Spectrum’s Empty Bowl Dinner guests got to hear from Tian, a former Spectrum youth, who shared the story of her experience at Spectrum. Tian now lives on her own, has graduated from college, and is halfway through earning a master’s degree. Needless to say, she received a standing ovation!
