Request for Proposals: Mental Health Clinical Supervisor

Organization: Lyon-Martin Community Health Services

Introduction:

The mission of Lyon-Martin Community Health Services is to provide high quality, compassionate and trauma-informed medical, gynecological, and mental health care services targeting trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming, and intersex (TGI) communities and cis-gender women with specific sensitivity to LGBQA+ sexual orientation, disability, size, race, ethnicity, and language regardless of immigration status or ability to pay.

Lyon-Martin aims to eliminate health inequities for our communities by rooting our clinical practice in core foundational frameworks of intersectionality, anti-racism, reproductive and disability justice, self-determination, and harm reduction. As a community clinic, we believe our communities are best served by us and for us; that’s why community engagement and leadership development are central to our mission of community care and mutual aid. Finally, we are committed to increasing access to culturally responsive care for queer, trans, and intersex (QTI) people beyond our walls through provider training and education and addressing systemic barriers to equity through policy advocacy.

Though Lyon-Martin has been in continuous existence since 1979, Lyon-Martin merged with a larger non-profit, HealthRIGHT 360, in 2015 and then subsequently separated as an independent entity in March 2022. So, as it exists today, from a financial and legal perspective, the entity is only 3 years old.
