A trusted community for parents of trans and gender diverse children

The course and the community are designed for parents of children at all ages and stages. Where we provide resources on specific age groups, it is offered as an additional resource and not as core content.

Parents of adult children remain incredibly important to the wellbeing of their child. We offer education and practical tools that are relevant to all parent-child relationships, as well as guidance on how to adjust your approach based on your own family context, including your child's age. 

That is absolutely O.K. This course and the community are designed to support parents with children who are having any experience of gender diversity, including those who are non-binary and gender questioning.  We can help you understand and navigate important conversations around this with your child.

We assume no prior knowledge at all, and this community welcomes you, regardless of if you have the 'right' language. 

It is often the most 'foundational' questions that are actually the most challenging, valuable and transformative. When we meaningfully engage with them, rather than simply giving a route answer, they help everyone to deepen their understanding. This is what we are seeking to do, so we enthusiastically welcome all questions. 

The course and the community are designed for parents of children at all stages in their journey. 

Often parents can also benefit by reflecting on their own journey and how it has been for them, even if some of this is in retrospect. It can be validating and create clearer or more nuanced understandings of their own story. 

Parents also continue to be a resource in the lives of their trans children, and often continue to have to have conversations with their community about the child's gender or history. 

The course is designed for parents of children at all stages in their journey. Where we provide in depth details on specific stages, it is offered as an additional resource and not as core content.

Even if your child is very far from puberty, most of the content will still be very relevant to you as you. A small amount of the content may be helpful simply to keep in mind so that you feel more prepared for what is to come. This can help with your own worries and feelings about the future for your child and your family.

You will also continue to have access to the video course so you can refer back to it at a later stage.

However, if you feel that the content is not helpful for you, you can request a full refund at any time. 

Any two members of a family that have caring responsibilities for your trans child are invited to participate through the one enrolment. We will set up your co-parent/co-carer with their own login and profile so that they can participate independently in the community. 

We offer this as a recognition that every parent has their own individual experiences, response and needs, and is best served when they are able to engage as a full participant, rather than an add-on.

The community is hosted on an online community platform called Heartbeat.

After your intake call, you will be able to create your profile and start engaging with the course material, events, and discussion threads immediately.

You can sign in on any device, including on mobile using our app or on web.

The community is a secure, private, space, however we ask that people show up authentically and engage on camera when they are attending events.

If you need anonymity, it may be best to purchase the standalone course and optionally have an individual session with Ari Heart.
