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.
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 a description of each group:
The National Parent/Caregiver Support Group is a group for all parents/caregivers of transgender, non-binary, gender expansive, and gender questioning youth 24 and younger. This groups meets biweekly on Wednesday evenings.
