You don’t have to have all the answers to be a supportive parent or caregiver. 💜

Our seven-week Parent/Caregiver Support Group creates space to learn, reflect and talk through some of the questions families may encounter while supporting a gender-diverse loved one.

Beginning October 19, we’ll explore topics including:

🌈 An orientation to gender
💭 Confronting fear and leaning into grief
🩺 Understanding medical interventions
⚖️ Navigating the legal system
🏫 Creating safe spaces in schools
⛪ Exploring steps toward religious reconciliation

The group meets Mondays at 7 p.m. via Zoom for seven weeks and is free to attend.

Whether you’re just beginning to learn or have been on this journey for some time, you’re welcome here.
