🌈 Why Upgrade to Well Beings+

Thanks for being here. Well Beings exists to help health and wellness providers like you better serve your queer and trans clients — with care that’s affirming, informed, and rooted in equity.

You’re already taking an important step by subscribing to the free edition. Upgrading to Well Beings+ is how we build something bigger: better resources, deeper reporting, and a stronger provider community.

💖 How to Support Well Beings News

Upgrading means you’re investing in sustainable, community-focused, reader-supported and worker-owned journalism.

You can choose either:

• 🏆 Lifetime Membership: A one-time payment of $698 to support this work forever. (Keep an eye out for discounts offered 2-3 times each year.)

• 🩺 Professional Membership: For $190/year or $19/month — if you want all the access of a lifetime membership but you’re not quite ready to take the plunge. (One week free trial available.)

• 🏳️‍🌈 Community Membership: Offering limited access to premium content — the full Monday news and research roundup, plus all mid-week original reporting—this tier is for non-professional members of the LGBTQ+ community and interested allies, priced at $55/year or $5.55/month.
