There is no playbook on how to be a parent or caregiver. This sometimes becomes even more clear when a child comes out as transgender and/or non-binary. Parents and caregivers — including school staff, extended family, friends, and anyone who loves and supports youth — can sometimes feel lost navigating complex and nuanced journeys around gender discovery. A child in transition can bring up a lot for adults: a range of questions, concerns, and emotions from elation to fear and everything in between.
This talk, brought to you by the DPS Prevention Services Lunchtime Webinar Series, will cover some high-level basics of supporting a child on a gender journey, dispel common misconceptions, and provide recommended resources as you travel this path with your student.
