Support Groups
Support groups for LGBTQIA+ people, as well as for their families and loved ones, are a crucial part of building a joyful, stable life. These national databases and resources will help you find safe, affirming support groups both in-person and online.
Especially for parents and caregivers, having a supportive space outside of your trans child (regardless of their age) to process your feelings, ask questions, and share your fears can be very beneficial for building a strong relationship with your child.
