The Care Closet @ NKU helps support our trans and gender non-conforming students by purchasing chest binders. While this project has now closed, you can still support our mission! Please visit supportnku.nku.edu/give, select "Other" in the dropdown, and write "Care Closet." Thank you!
Binding tape is an alternative to a chest binder; students who may not want to commit to a chest binder for medical reasons can still utilize binding tape.
Chest Binders are purchased and provided to our students upon request.
Print materials for safe binding practices are essential to ensuring the safe application and wear of binders and binding tape. Each printed flier costs $0.23. These fliers will be distributed at all tabling engagements, events and programming, and throughout daily operations.
We are coordinating with Equitas Health in Cincinnati to bring a gender-affirming care educator to campus to discuss safe-binding practices and to answer questions from our students.
