Diverse & Resilient

Diverse & Resilient Diverse & Resilient was founded by Gary Hollander in 1995 as a program to build the capacity of LGBT groups in Wisconsin.

We empower LGBTQ+ communities with programs that support survivors of intimate partner & community violence, provide sexual health services, HIV/STI prevention, HIV care, LGBTQ+ youth programming, & community education/training on gender affirming care. We have grown to be an independent nonprofit agency that employs 19 staff and serves over 5,000 LGBT people every year. We do both capacity-buildi

ng and direct-service work to address the health disparities experienced by LGBT people in Wisconsin. Our work is focused on six priority areas: Acceptance, Cultivating Leaders, Mental Health, Sexual Health, Partner & Community Violence, and Substance Use.

Pride Weekend Update from Diverse & Resilient

We're trading our desks for glitter, community, and celebration!

Friday, June 5, our Milwaukee and Appleton offices will be closed while our team heads to MKE PrideFest. If you need us, come find us at the festival grounds! Stop by our booth and celebrate Pride with us. We're here until Saturday!

To support staff and provide time for respite, both our Milwaukee and Appleton offices will be closed for in-person operations on Monday, June 8. During this time, our team will have limited availability, and you may experience slower response times.

We'll be back in-person Tuesday 6/9. Happy Pride!
