Parent Your Trans Child to Thrive

The course is 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. 

Parents of young trans children have a unique opportunity to set the foundation for their child to develop resilience for later years. There is a great deal that parents of pre-pubescent trans kids can be doing to support the development of their young child's confidence, self-awareness, and communication skills. There is also a huge amount of advocacy that can be required of you when your kid is small. The course, but even more so the Community, will give you the support, resources and guidance you need.

The course specifically is designed for parents of children at all stages in their journey. Even if your child is very far from puberty, most of the content will still be very relevant. 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. 

That is absolutely O.K. This course is 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.

The course assumes no prior knowledge at all. 

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 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.

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. 

You can access the modules as soon as you purchase the course, and can watch them as quickly or as slowly as you like. 

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

If you join the community, you will be able to schedule an intake call within a few days, during which we will get you connected to the community platform. 

Any two members of a family that have caring responsibilities for your trans child are invited to participate through the one enrolment.

If you are accessing the course via the community, we will set up your co-parent with their own login and profile so that they can participate independently.
