May Is Mental Health Awareness Month in Orange County

Mental Health Awareness Month in Irvine

Throughout May, Radiant Health Centers joins individuals and organizations nationwide to recognize Mental Health Awareness Month. As the leading provider of LGBTQ+ counseling and mental health services in Orange County, we have witnessed directly the impact these issues have on people in Orange County. For over 70 years, this time of year has been dedicated to promoting mental health education, awareness and advocacy, and we are proud to play our part once again.

Radiant Health Centers Recognizes Mental Health Awareness Month

Mental Health Awareness Month dates back to 1949, and aims to educate the wider public on mental health issues like depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and other concerns. This year’s theme is called Look Around, Look Within. It recognizes the importance of stable housing, healthy home lives – and strong communities – for positive mental health.

Advocates are encouraged to raise awareness through social media, local events and workshops. This month is also a good time to consider using an online mental health screening to identify any symptoms of a potential mental health disorder or condition.

Mental Health and the LGBTQ+ Community

As we have previously reported, Orange County LGBTQ+ youth face mental health disparities. Sadly, younger people in the community are disproportionately affected by various mental health disorders. In fact, according to the Anxiety & Depression Association of America, LGBTQ+ teens are six times more likely to experience symptoms of depression than heterosexual teens.

At Radiant Health Centers, we believe it’s more important than ever to shine a light on these challenges and work towards a future where mental health care is accessible, inclusive and stigma-free for all.

How Radiant Health Centers Is Combating Mental Health Issues

While Radiant Health Centers is widely recognized for its commitment to ending the AIDS epidemic through accessible testing and treatment, counseling and mental health services are equally important to our mission. Improving health and social outcomes is not possible without positive emotional health, and we consistently look for ways to help the community in this area.

Recently, we launched our Youth Drop-In Center in Orange County. Aimed at young LGBTQ+ people ages 12–26, the space is available for mentoring, affirming resources, emotional support and socializing.

With a lack of judgment-free, welcoming areas for young people, the center provides a much-needed space where visitors can be themselves among their peers. Alongside our LGBTQ+ youth and mentorship program, here the younger generation has access to the tools and support needed to elevate their mental health as they progress into adulthood.

Trusted Mental Health and Counseling Services in Orange County

If you or someone you know is in need of mental health support, please contact Radiant Health Centers. Our team is here to provide compassionate, stigma-free care to all members of the LGBTQ+ community. For more information, call our Irvine center at (949) 809-5700 or request an appointment now.

30th Annual AIDSWatch Focused on Ending the HIV Epidemic

AIDSWatch 2023 in Washington, D.C.

AIDSWatch – the largest, constituent-led HIV advocacy event in the United States – returned for its 30th anniversary on March 19–21, 2023. As the leading HIV testing and treatment provider in Orange County, Radiant Health Centers was proud to join the more than 350 HIV advocates from 37 states in attendance in Washington, D.C. Over three days, attendees met with 182 congressional offices, all steadfast in their determination to end the HIV epidemic in this country.

What Is AIDSWatch?

In the 30 years since it began, AIDSWatch has grown from a small group of HIV/AIDS advocates working to improve the lives of people living with HIV to a groundbreaking advocacy event making a widely-felt difference.

AIDSWatch advocates for policies that address various aspects of life for people living with HIV, including healthcare access, housing, mental health and substance use disorder services, supportive services, access to quality food, reproductive choices and employment. Along with events like World AIDS Day, the event provides an opportunity for collaboration across all communities and political lines by focusing on achieving shared goals.

AIDSWatch 2023 in Washington, D.C.

Radiant Health Centers at AIDSWatch 2023

A delegation from Radiant Health Centers visited Capitol Hill to engage with California representatives, including Max Ernst, Deputy Chief of Staff/Legislative Director for Rep. Katie Porter. As Orange County’s largest provider of HIV care, we have seen the impact of this global public health issue on individuals and communities.

Our staff members, clients and colleagues had productive discussions on the need for greater federal funding to tackle the wide-ranging issues associated with HIV. From early testing and treatment to counseling and stigma-free care, an increased commitment to government funding will play a vital role in our ability to deliver first-class services.

In addition to participating in AIDSWatch, Daniel Garza – a client of Radiant Health Centers – interviewed Joe Alfano and David Harrod on his podcast, Lilmesican Productions Inc. You can learn more about the event by watching here.

How Radiant Health Centers Is Contributing to Ending the HIV Epidemic

Throughout its long history, AIDSWatch has been committed to policy advocacy that will end the HIV epidemic. Crucial policies identified issues such as healthcare barriers, the need for secure medical coverage, aging with HIV, access to HIV-related medication and so on.

At Radiant Health Centers, these issues are at the heart of what we do each day. From providing easy access to HIV testing services to working with younger people through our youth programs, we offer a safe, welcoming environment for the Orange County community. And with continued advocacy and collaboration, backed by increased federal funding, we believe the HIV epidemic can be ended once and for all.

Professional HIV Treatment and Testing in Orange County

Recognize Transgender Day of Visibility on March 31

Transgender Day of Visibility 2023 in Orange County

International Transgender Day of Visibility is an annual event dedicated to celebrating the lives of transgender and non-binary people and raising awareness of discrimination. As a longstanding provider of trans healthcare and hormone replacement therapy in Orange County, Radiant Health Centers is once again proud to support this special day. Join us and the many people coming together to highlight transgender communities around the world.

What Is Transgender Day of Visibility?

Transgender Day of Visibility takes place every year on March 31. Dating back to 2009, the event was created by Rachel Crandall, a Michigan-based transgender activist. From its very beginning, addressing and helping change the common media narratives about transgender people was a central focus.

This event was intended to celebrate the many accomplishments of transgender and non-binary people worldwide – while still recognizing the issues with discrimination, justice and transgender barriers to physical and mental healthcare. With the eyes of the world on the transgender community, Transgender Day of Visibility is truly a unique opportunity to draw attention to the experiences of trans people, and to continue the focus on making improvements in healthcare (and in related social and legal concerns).

Understanding the Importance of Transgender Day of Visibility

As reported by GLAAD, there were over 200 anti-LGBTQ bills filed in the United States in 2022, with over half targeting transgender people. The growing visibility of trans and non-binary people has delivered many benefits, but there are also issues with misinformation and even vilification by politicians and the media. Transgender Day of Visibility is a chance to tell authentic stories – and to bring a greater understanding of the transgender community to the general public.

How to Take Part in Transgender Day of Visibility 2023

With an emphasis on increasing visibility, on March 31 we will celebrate the trans community and also acknowledge that challenges still exist. As an ally, you can play your part by amplifying the messages, stories, news and statistics published on social media and blogs. You can also search for local Orange County events and spread the word to a broader audience.

How Radiant Health Centers Supports the Transgender Community

At Radiant Health Centers we offer a safe, welcoming environment for transgender people in Orange County. From our LGBTQ+ counseling and mental health services to hormone replacement therapy (HRT), we deliver compassionate care to our clients.

HRT is available to the LGBTQIA2S (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, Two-Spirit) community at our medical clinic. Those with HRT questions or who would like an initial evaluation can speak with our knowledgeable team.

Contact Us for Hormone Replacement Therapy and LGBTQ+ Healthcare Services

Radiant Health Centers is Orange County’s leading LGBTQ+ medical clinic, providing HRT, primary care, testing and other treatments. Contact us today for more information on the transitioning process, including our counseling services. Call (949) 809-5700 or request an appointment now.

Celebrating 21 Years of National LGBTQ Health Awareness Week

National LGBTQ Health Awareness Week in Irvine

This week, March 20th–24th, 2023, Radiant Health Centers will join together with thousands of individuals, organizations and media outlets to recognize National LGBTQ Health Awareness Week. As the largest LGBTQ+ medical clinic in Orange County, raising awareness of the physical and mental health challenges faced by many in the community is close to our hearts. As always, this period provides a unique opportunity to impact the health of a great number of LGBTQ+ people across Orange County.

National LGBTQ Health Awareness Week Is Here

Each year, National LGBTQ Health Awareness Week is a chance to reach a broad audience to discuss LGBTQ+ health issues. With many people in the community struggling to access inclusive, compassionate and affirming healthcare services, this week helps shine a light on the persistent challenges.

There are many ways you can support LGBTQ+ health equity in Orange County, but spreading the word to a wider audience takes a united effort. With issues ranging from accessibility of HIV care and a lack of youth services to mental health and trans health issues, National LGBTQ Health Awareness Week is a further opportunity to end the stigma and promote healthy living for all.

The Importance of National LGBTQ Health Awareness Week

Last year’s 20th National LGBTQ Health Awareness Week broke records, and really highlighted the power of collaboration within the community. In total, 13.3 million people were reached through social media channels. Forty media outlets reported on the many events as thousands of participants contributed to valuable conversations on LGBTQ+ health.

How Radiant Health Centers Contributes to Improving LGBTQ+ Health

At Radiant Health Centers, we have been at the forefront of LGBTQ+ healthcare in Orange County for more than 30 years. Many of the goals of this vital week align perfectly with our mission of delivering compassionate, stigma-free healthcare.

We have significantly expanded our services from our beginnings as a volunteer-led organization providing support during the AIDS epidemic. Patients can now visit our Irvine medical clinic for HIV testing and treatment, family planning, hormone replacement therapy and STD testing. These services are offered in a confidential, knowledgeable and LGBTQ+-friendly environment where we are committed to improving the health of our clients.

Over the years we have also grown our primary medical care services to better provide for Orange County’s LGBTQ+ community. Our services include everything from health screenings to chronic disease management. And during National LGBTQ Health Awareness Week we will continue to work towards improving health outcomes for now, and long into the future.

The event of the season returns once again with the announcement of the Radiant Health Centers’ 37th Annual Gala. Taking place on Saturday, June 3, 2023, the Gala promises to be the perfect start to Pride Month in a celebration of the LGBTQ+ community in Orange County. If you were lucky enough to attend last year’s sold-out event, you’ll know this magical night is not to be missed. And with tickets in high demand, you’ll want to act quickly to secure your table or tickets.

What You Need to Know About the Annual Gala 2023

The 37th Annual Gala is an outdoor event taking place at the Turnip Rose Promenade in Costa Mesa. Guests will enter an enchanted Shakespearean forest filled with nymphs, fairies, royalty and mere mortals for a spectacular theme – A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Join us as we bring Shakespeare’s moonlit vision to life for a whimsical, fairytale event of fun, dancing and unforgettable experiences. Live entertainment includes a live auction, silent auction prizes, mouthwatering food and so much more.

As always, the Annual Gala will have a lasting legacy, with funds raised going towards the important goal of improving LGBTQ+ healthcare equity and HIV care for the Orange County community. Along with our LGBTQ+ year-end appeal and other fundraisers, the generosity of so many people continues to play a dramatic role in the availability of and access to much-needed health services.

The 2023 Radiant Compassion Award

The Radiant Compassion Award is a chance to honor the incredible work, activism and advocacy of an individual in the community. This year’s recipient is the Broadway star and LGBTQ+ activist Javier Muñoz.

As the star of the award-winning musical “Hamilton” and co-creator of the Alexander Hamilton role, Javier is renowned for his performances on Broadway. But he is also a committed advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and people living with HIV/AIDS, working as a (RED) global ambassador and serving on the board of trustees for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

Join Us at the 37th Annual Gala

Individuals, companies and organizations who wish to sponsor the Gala can contact us to discuss the available opportunities. By supporting the Gala, not only will you be a visible presence at the event of the season in Orange County, you can also make a valuable contribution to healthcare in the community.

New LGBTQ+ Youth Drop-in Center Opens in Orange County

Orange County LGBTQ+ youth drop-in center

Radiant Health Centers is pleased to announce the opening of our LGBTQ+ youth drop-in center. Along with our LGBTQ+ youth and mentorship program, sexual health education groups and gender affirming closet, the drop-in center provides further opportunities to improve the physical and mental health of young people in Orange County. Visitors to the center are assured of a safe space to relax and unwind, engage with their peers and access valuable services.

Orange County’s LGBTQ+ Youth Drop-In Center

Our youth drop-in center is open on Mondays and Fridays from 4–7 p.m. for anyone who is 12–26 years old. Featuring snacks, games, self-care items, career coaching, a gender affirming wardrobe and many more fun activities, the center is an accepting and supportive environment where attendees are free to be themselves.

Many in the LGBTQ+ community feel isolated and lack a supportive network of friends and family they can turn to. An inability to connect and communicate with others reduces a person’s quality of life – the results are clear to see with LGBTQ+ youth facing mental health disparities.

We are committed to helping young people feel empowered and confident by providing a safe space, resources, advocacy and community. With the opening of our youth drop-in center we actively play a role in addressing many issues. The benefits of this sense of community and belonging can be seen in higher self-esteem, improved mental health and better overall well-being.

How to Attend the LGBTQ+ Youth Drop-In Center

To learn more and get the center’s address, please get in touch with Toni Collard at (949) 809-5788 or by email.

You can also learn more about Radiant Health Centers’ youth programs in the latest edition of The Voice.

Why Safe Spaces for LGBTQ+ Youth Matter

Safe spaces like our youth drop-in center play a vital role in young people’s physical and emotional well-being. At its core, the center is a place for young people to socialize and relax in a friendly environment free from discrimination. However, visitors can also address their individual needs through mentoring and other services.

Our center offers a wealth of resources, including sexual health supplies, coaching and resume-building advice. In addition, we can provide referrals and guidance, with access to LGBTQ+ counseling and mental health support. And whether you are looking for a friendly place full of fun and activities or you require a greater level of support and assistance, the drop-in center is a sanctuary free from judgment and harassment for the young LGBTQ+ community of Orange County.

LGBTQ+ in Orange County Gives Generously in Year-End Appeal

End-of-year fundraising in Irvine

As 2022 drew to a close, Radiant Health Centers requested donations with the year-end fundraising appeal to support the expansion of our LGBTQ+ Orange County medical clinic. Our clinic relies on the generosity of our supporters to deliver dedicated, compassionate care to the local community. With our donors’ help, we can continue to improve existing services – and develop future innovations that support healthcare equity. As always, our donors went above and beyond to help us exceed our fundraising goal for the year.

The Results of Our Year-End Gift Matching Campaign

After adding up the donations from the hundreds of supporters in Orange County and further afield, we are pleased to announce that more than $120,000 has been raised. The total surpasses our fundraising goal for this year-end appeal and ensures we start the year stronger than ever.

We offer our sincere thanks to everyone who contributed – including the anonymous donor who matched the first $50,000 raised, dollar-for-dollar. Your kind support will allow us to serve more people in the Orange County LGBTQ+ community with much-needed medical and mental health services.

As we expand our services, those who feel underserved or discriminated against can now find LGBTQ+-friendly healthcare in Orange County.

How Your Donations Will Help Deliver Healthcare Equity

During 2023, the staff at Radiant Health Centers remains committed to growing our clinic and mental health programs. Our testing programs, treatment services, and preventive care efforts will help thousands of people live healthier lives.

Our primary care services include vital programs like STD testing & treatment, HIV testing & treatment, disease management, family planning, and annual checkups. In addition, we operate an accessible telehealth service and youth programs that cover trans issues, mental health concerns, and other vital areas. The year-end fundraising efforts enable significant investment into expanding these services, thus helping reach many more people within the Orange County community.

Why LGBTQ+-Focused Healthcare Services Matter

As many LGBTQ+ people recognize, there are often significant barriers to skilled, caring, and knowledgeable healthcare services. From dealing with stigma and a lack of LGBTQ+ awareness to accessing crucial HIV medication and hormone replacement therapy, many within the community feel disheartened after encounters with other healthcare professionals.

In comparison, Radiant Health Centers provides integrated LGBTQ-focused healthcare. With the help of diagnostic services, ongoing treatments and mental health programs like our LGBTQ+ counseling, we help improve physical and psychological health outcomes for an improved quality of life. And thanks to our donors’ generosity, we can continue to deliver first-class mental health services within Orange County.

Access LGBTQ+ Health and HIV Care in Orange County

Honoring World AIDS Day With a Remembrance Tree

World AIDS Day event in Orange County

Thursday December 1st marked World AIDS Day, as people worldwide joined together to spread awareness of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. With our daily work focused on HIV testing services, medical treatment and care and counseling programs in Orange County, this cause is significant for everyone at Radiant Health Centers. We also observed the occasion with our own event, joining together to remember the people who lost their lives to the disease.

Guests at World AIDS Day event

Radiant Health Centers’ World AIDS Day 2022 Event

The Radiant Health Centers’ World AIDS Day event took place at The 5th Rooftop in Anaheim, Ca. Guests were treated to cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and fireworks on a night that will live long in the memory of our participants. But above all else, the gathering was distinguished by the remembrance of the impact of HIV/AIDS on individuals and families in Orange County and across the world.

The commemoration of those who have lost their lives to HIV/AIDS was symbolized by our Remembrance Tree. Guests were given the opportunity to write the name of a loved one they would like to remember on a tag. The tags were then hung on a red crane on the Remembrance Tree. This striking symbol of remembrance will sit in the Radiant Health Centers offices throughout the year.

Remembrance Tree to commemorate lost loved ones

The Importance of Remembering Loved Ones

As people across the world united in support of World AIDS Day, the opportunity to memorialize loved ones was a key theme. The Remembrance Tree provided a chance to show grief, find healing and inspire others in the fight to end the AIDS epidemic. We encourage others to find a way to commemorate a loved one in a similarly meaningful way.

Radiant Health Centers event donors

We also heard stories from guests who lost friends, family members and significant others. People like Fernando Martinez, who was faced with a lack of adequate services and compassion after his diagnosis, found a voice within the Orange County community, and he strives to help others through his story and wisdom.

As Fernando shared in his speech at the event:

COVID taught me how the Latin community can be left out and dismissed when it comes to services. I decided to keep the community connected with phone calls, visits when possible and accessing information for those that were isolated… My goal is to live fearlessly, to stay grounded – and to help grow the community that we have built and see others use it like I have. My dream is to live my life open and free and show others how to live their authentic lives.

To anyone living with HIV in Orange County, make Radiant Health Centers your healthcare home. We would be honored to share our love, compassion and support for you.

Building on the Progress of World AIDS Day

As the end of the year moves closer, we naturally reflect on events from the past. But it’s also important to consider the progress made in the fight against AIDS-related diseases. At Radiant Health Centers, we continue to improve our services, delivering stigma-free, private consultations, HIV Life Skills Workshops – and reliable treatments for many of the most vulnerable individuals in the Orange County community.

Year End Appeal

As 2022 draws to a close, many individuals and organizations are looking for opportunities to give to worthwhile causes. The Radiant Health Centers’ Year End Appeal has received strong support because it addresses LGBTQ+ healthcare equity for many in our community. Plus, we have an added bonus – the first $50,000 raised by December 31st will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a generous donor.

To continue to meet patients’ needs, we must continue investing in HIV treatment, youth programs, counseling and more.

Orange County Unites in Support of World AIDS Day

Orange County World AIDS Day event

On December 1, 2022, Radiant Health Centers will join millions of people across the world for World AIDS Day. As Orange County’s leading provider of HIV prevention, education and outreach services, the annual event is close to our hearts. Once again, we welcome the chance to offer our support to people living with HIV, and pay tribute to those who have died from AIDS-related illnesses.

What Is World AIDS Day?

World AIDS Day is held each year on the first day of December. This global event is a chance to spread awareness of the continued fight against HIV/AIDS, show solidarity with the people living with HIV – and commemorate the lives lost to this disease. With a history dating back to 1988, the day encourages people from all parts of the world to unite around a common theme.

The World AIDS Day 2022 Theme Is Equalize

Each World AIDS Day is characterized by a specific theme that drives the events and conversations of the day. The theme chosen for 2022 is “Equalize.” This slogan highlights the inequalities standing in the way of progress in the fight against AIDS. With significant barriers to testing and treatment remaining, there is still much to be done to ensure that communities will have access to vital HIV/AIDS services.

Steps You Can Take on World AIDS Day 2022

You can do many things to support World AIDS Day this year.

How Radiant Health Centers Is Supporting World AIDS Day

One clear goal of the Equalize theme is to increase the availability and quality of HIV treatment, testing and prevention services. At Radiant Health Centers, we remain committed to delivering the best and most accessible HIV services in Orange County. We offer free HIV testing at our Irvine clinic for those who are uninsured or underinsured. Plus, we ensure fast access to antiretroviral treatment after a positive diagnosis.

With education playing such a crucial role in prevention, our medical team also runs regular workshops for people living with HIV in Orange County. Our HIV Life Skills Workshops tackle important topics such as Trauma Informed Care and Medi-Cal/Medicare (in both English and Spanish). By raising awareness about the importance of HIV prevention and the need to know your status, combined with treatment availability, we can all play a part this World AIDS Day and throughout the year.

Contact Us for HIV Testing and Treatment in Orange County

Radiant Health Centers is a trusted LGBTQ+ medical clinic based in Irvine, Orange County. Our medical clinic offers HIV testing, Rapid ART treatment, primary medical care, family planning and other vital services. For general inquiries, call (949) 809-5700.
