Rainbow Heights Club is the first and only government-funded support and advocacy program that provides direct services to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender mental health consumers in New York State. We are located in Brooklyn, and our club program is currently open to our 325 members on weekdays Monday thru Friday from 12:30 PM to 5:30PM. Rainbow Heights also offers training and education for health-care providers on cultural competency with LGBT people living with mental illness, free of charge.
If you're a mental health consumer who is lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, two-spirit, same-gender-loving, or you're questioning your sexuality or gender identity, find out how to join the club and enjoy the support and acceptance that we provide. All of our services are provided entirely free of charge.

For the first time, New York City's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has acknowledged the significant disparities Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) people experience in mental health care relative to our heterosexual counterparts.
We are extremely grateful to New York City's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the New York State Assembly, numerous foundations, and individual donors for their support. We are currently working to diversify our funding streams, expand our board, enlarge our volunteer program, and build staffing so that we can continue to provide essential support and advocacy to one of the most vulnerable and underserved groups of people in New York City. As you can see from our members' success stories, we are currently helping over 300 people stay out of the hospital and in the community... and we are saving New York taxpayers millions of dollars in the process. Ninety-one percent of people who attend Rainbow Heights Club remain free of hospitalization each year.
