Tearing down the barriers to birth control
Our Work
Trust Her provides support for clinic operations to meet the needs of their community. Patient-centered design thinking can be used to prioritize the experience and foster optimal clinic efficiency. Our work can result in flexible appointment hours for teens or a clinic process that reduces wait time or reproductive coercion.
We approach our work in three ways.
Patient-centered care
Patient-centered care places the patient’s values, beliefs, and preferences at the core of the clinical experience. It takes into account everything from how patients are counseled to when the clinic is open.
Removing access barriers
Cost and the availability of all birth control options (or lack thereof) are the two biggest barriers for most women. Trust Her created the Contraceptive Access Fund to address this issue head-on.
Expanding access points
Trust Her facilitates collaborations between city and county agencies, healthcare providers, and local communities with the goal of expanding women’s health services in Dallas County.
