How might we love? Ponderings of connection, love, and resilience. Tending the Roots Post card Project with ReDefine Arts
Part 2 of this series, “I carry”, explores how we can support ourselves and each other as we serve 2SLGBTQIA+ Youth and Families.
We hope this brief guide will support you as you work to affirm your neurodiverse and gender exploring child. Our intention is to validate queer and trans youth by letting them know they are not too much, and in fact they are WONDERFUL just as they are!
Friends and extended family can have trouble adjusting to your trans youth’s identity. This can show up in challenging and often transphobic conversations over the holidays. Here we’ve collected some common statements, with ways you can respond with care and support.
Supporting a trans family member means being willing to stand between them and transphobia, and nowhere does this hit harder than in our families. As you find your feet in this role, remember affirmations like these.
Holidays can be emotional for everyone, and this is especially true when you have a trans family member who’s recently come out. These tips can help you and your family navigate this stressful time.
Welcome, 2SLGBTQIA + practitioners, clinicians and families. Join us in knowledge sharing, tool building and advocacy.
