Navigating the Journey of Parenting Transgender Youth

Transgender youth experience increased rates of bullying, discrimination, and social rejection. Consequently, compared to their cisgender peers, they face disproportionately higher rates of mental health disparities. Notably, parental acceptance and support serve as significant protective factors for transgender youth. This course aims to empower parents and caregivers with the knowledge and skills needed to support and navigate the unique journey of parenting transgender youth. As society evolves, it is critical for parents to understand and respond effectively to gender diverse and transgender youth. The course provides a comprehensive exploration of the experiences parents and caregivers of transgender youth may encounter and how to best respond with insights into the emotional, social and practical aspects of supporting their child’s
gender identity.
