OUR RESOURCES
“In 2008, we were reeling from learning that our 15 year old “son” identified as a trans girl. I was desperate for support for my child, myself, and my family. We felt alone and frightened but once we found information, resources, and the strength, we embarked on this journey and found others on the same path.”
