Group Description

Supporting a trans teen can be both beautiful and challenging. This group offers a confidential, affirming space for parents to process emotions, share experiences, and learn from one another. With mindfulness practices and a liberation-centered lens, we focus on presence, curiosity, and cultivating trust in yourself as a parent, and your kid as a human.
