School District of Beloit promotes University of Wisconsin Hospital’s services that provide puberty blockers and hormone therapy to children

The School District of Beloit has two resources online titled “Children’s Mental Health & Wellness Resource Guide” and “Mental Health and Wellness Resource Guide.” Both documents are similar in that they offer support groups for students. However, both documents list the “Pediatric and Adolescent Transgender Health (PATH) Clinic” as a resource. This resource explicitly states that the clinic offers irreversible hormone therapy to children:

The PATH Clinic in Madison, Wisconsin provides education about medical care options for gender-variant children and adolescents. We can provide the full spectrum of care, from simple observation and guidance to hormone suppression and hormone affirming therapy for children of all ages.

The clinic is part of the University of Wisconsin Hospital (UW Health). The clinic’s page on the hospital’s website is titled “Supporting transgender, nonbinary, gender questioning and gender diverse youth.” UW Health explains “that this is a hard time for many of our LBGTQ+ patients and families.” Services include “observation, advocacy, and guidance to puberty suppression and gender-affirming hormone therapy.” The hospital explains that personalized support and treatments include “gender-affirming hormone therapy,” “hormone/puberty suppression,” “mental health counseling,” and “support services for kids and families.”
