Training

*Due to limited staff capacity, we are not currently offering trainings at this time.

Could your clinic, facility, business or institution use some help in working with LGBTQ seniors? Consider letting our specialists provide an in-service to your staff. Our training is tailored to suit your needs, and is designed to increase cultural competency surrounding LGBTQ elder care issues in a variety of professional settings. Please call (713) 485-5056 to schedule a session.

SPRY participants have access to all of the programs and services available at the Center. The Montrose Diner, and all social and educational activities are provided free-of-charge. Professional counseling, groups and case management are offered at a discounted fee; however, the Center accepts most insurance including Medicare and Medicaid, and you may qualify for grant subsidies that may waive any out-of-pocket fees.
