Useful resources

We compiled a list of organizations that offer resources that can be helpful for nonbinary people in Berlin. We also tried to specify the languages in which they can offer these resources.

Health

  • Casa Kuà is organised by trans* and nonbinary BIPoCs to make health more accessible to other trans*, inter*, nonbinary and queer people, and especially for those affected by racism. The aim of the centre is to bring alternative, traditional, and conventional medical treatments together. We also want to bring communities together, centring the needs and wishes of trans* people of colour, because for us, communities and health are inseparable.
