Please note: The SMILE research study does not provide services for people. While we wish we had resources available to help people needing access to medical care, mental health care, or meeting basic needs, we are not able to provide any services through this research study.
However, when we hear about available services in your country that may help sexual and gender minorities, we are happy to post that information on this website. Please contact us to tell us about available resources that aren’t already listed here.
***Do you see any resources listed here that aren’t friendly or helpful for sexual and gender minorities? Please let us know about it, and we’ll remove it from the list!
