We’re here to help young people, their families and caregivers navigate through the questions and concerns that come with gender identity development.
Our experts train healthcare professionals and community groups through local, regional and national lectures and workshops. We work closely with behavioral healthcare agencies and mental health professionals in the community to make sure transgender and gender-conforming children and youth have access to competent and affirming services.
As your Gender Support Program team, we’ll do all we can to help guide you through this time of exploration and discovery.
