This 7-week Parent Support Group will meet every Tuesday from 6:30 to 8:30 PM via Zoom from April 28th to June 9th.

Our confidential parent support group is designed for parents and caregivers of gender-diverse children of all ages to share experiences, learn, and grow together. Facilitated by parents of a transgender child, this is a great opportunity to better understand, support, commit to, and advocate for your trans or nonbinary child.

Topics include an orientation to gender, confronting fear, leaning into grief, understanding medical interventions, navigating the legal system, creating a safe space in schools, and exploring the steps for religious reconciliation.

Participants are asked to commit to themselves and other group members by attending a majority of the sessions. Participation in this group is free.

Here’s a great new book from acclaimed author, Nico Lang. And thanks, Lambda Legal, for continuing to defend the rights of trans folks.

We sat down for an interview with acclaimed book author Nico Lang, who traveled the country uplifting the stories of trans youth and their families.
