Resources for Parents
with Trans/Queer Kiddos
First, we want to acknowledge how wonderful it is to see you as a parent seeking support for yourself as your child transitions. This makes such a difference for the person transitioning.
Secondly, the resources for parents of LGBTQ (Queer or Trans) kids. We invite you to look into these other support resources as we limit the Queer and Trans Parents group to people who identify as LGBTQ. We believe this helps all of us get our needs met best, as well as connect folks with the right support, resources and peer groups!
