Charlene Arcila Trans Wellness Collective

FAQ

The community members of PTWC’s Interdisciplinary Review Committee and Continuing Education Review Committee have voted to rename the Philadelphia Trans Wellness Conference to the Charlene Arcila Trans Wellness Collective. This change honors the conference's founder, Charlene Arcila, and reflects that members of the trans community have attended the conference from across the country and around the world and we hope will continue to be engaged by this new format.

Recognizing the challenging landscape that our trans community is facing today, we believe that the current environment calls for a necessary shift from a single, concentrated event to year-round programming. In order to better serve the community and provide an ongoing support structure, we will be shifting to a series of programs that will be occurring throughout the year.

 

This new series will happen instead of a single conference, and we are confident it will enable us to best serve the community.

A survey in April sent to members of the community helped determine this year’s programming based on the feedback shared in this survey. Stay tuned for more updates as we look forward to offering programming as the Charlene Arcila Trans Wellness Collective
