More trans people are coming out than ever before and research shows that having a supportive family can reduce suicide, depression, and anxiety symptoms (Gower, et. al., 2018; Greene, D. C. & Britton, P. J., 2015). Parents must know how to best support their children while also coming to terms with the transition themselves (SAMHSA, 2014; Birnkrant, J. M. & Przeworski, A., 2017.) . This session will inform practicing counselors and pre-service counselors on how to work with and support parents of trans/gnc children using a group format so that they can support and advocate for them.
