A Safe Space in Upstate SC
Increasing access to affirmative resources with safe spaces, needed supplies, and quality connections
for all things health and wellness

Together We’re Better
Together we’re stronger
After years of working to provide services for the queer community and it’s allies separately, the Queer Wellness Center was developed to create a safe space with larger impact for the LGBTQ+ community.
To create a place where a person could go to not only pursue community but also medical and mental health care without having to deal with the hiccups of typical office visits.
Interested in providing services or resources on site? Have a desire to vounteer? Want to book a space for an event? We’d love to have you. Connect with us using the links below and we’ll be in touch to get everything set up.

Live a healthy life
with Access, Awareness, and Affirmation
Living a healthy life sounds so great. But when faced with having to choose which part of you gets to come out of the closet or which important things you’re willing to sacrifice to just be yourself, the journey to find affordable, reputable, and safe care can be a complicated maze that you just don’t have the energy to navigate.
You dream of receiving care and love as your whole self. Connecting with a community that supports you as you are and helps you create whole self health and wellness but finding those providers can be like finding a needle in a haystack.
Queer Community
Providers & Allies
And if you’re a service provider or ally of the queer community, it can be challenging to connect with a large enough audience to make the impact you set out to make.
Finding the right place to support, serve, and connect like you’d hoped can be a challenge that leaves you feeling depleted.
The QWC is designed to be that place.

Empowering the queer community to
View Life with Hope
As the first of it’s kind, the QWC is provides a safe and accepting environment where the queer community can gain access to affirming resources and businesses alike. We’re working to:
- destigmatize the queer community
- challenge current social constructs
- change the environmental landscape of affirming resources for LGBTQ+ individuals
All with the hope of shifting the view of our community to something more positive, even if only for ourselves.
