Parent/Caregiver Support Group Intake Form

Welcome!

Thank you for your interest in Gender Spectrum's peer support groups for parents/caregivers of gender-expansive youth!

〰️ If you are the parent/caregiver of a child whose age is 25+ or within 3 months of turning 25, please email info@genderspectrum.org for alternative resources, as our current offerings are for parents/caregivers of youth 24 and under.
〰️ If you are a professional, please do not fill out this form. This is an intake form for support groups solely intended for parents, caregivers, and families of gender-expansive youth. Please click here to be contacted about our upcoming educational workshops/offerings. Thank you!

We offer various support group options that are great sources of help for adults who are navigating the ongoing gender development of their child. Our groups are:

Peer support groups facilitated by a Gender Spectrum staff member or trained volunteers; they are not therapy groups.
For parents/caregivers and other adults raising gender-expansive youth. Children and youth do not attend or participate in these groups.
Completely free; there is no fee to participate.

Please see below for brief descriptions of each of the peer support groups we are currently offering.
