Trans Spiritual Care Initiative

Rev. Claire Bohman

Sojourn Chaplaincy’s Transgender Spiritual Care Initiative (TSCI) trains chaplains and clergy to advocate for and with transgender patients and interrupt discrimination against transgender people in healthcare settings and faith communities. The TSCI is a first of its kind training program for providers across the country. It also offers online resources and webinars.

Under the leadership of trans and GNC clergy, Sojourn launched the Transgender Spiritual Care Initiative in 2017. This project has been building a cadre of clergy and chaplains who are trained in gender diversity and able to provide gender affirming spiritual care for trans people in healthcare, religious and other institutions.

Sojourn Chaplaincy is the multi faith spiritual care department at San Francisco General Hospital, serving the city’s most marginalized residents and reaching into the community with our Transgender Spiritual Care Initiative and other spiritual care services and programs.
