This presentation will be a panel discussion with parents of trans kids. We will focus discussion on the experiences of parents, their perceptions of their kids’ needs, how a child’s gender journey impacts their family, what supports families could use, and parents’ experiences with their child’s mental health care provider(s).
After leaving this presentation, participants will be able to:
1) Identify common needs of individuals at various stages of gender transition; and,
2) Provide education and other tools for loved ones supporting these individuals through all stages of transitions.
