Parents and caregivers often show up to our services with a mix of feelings - confusion, grief, fear, uncertainty, guilt, anger, or perhaps something not yet definable. But showing up at all already demonstrates the strongest feeling of all: love.

Showing our children that we are willing to process our feelings and better understand who they are is an immense act of support, which is what all children need. If you or someone you know is seeking services for families with transgender and gender expansive youth, reach out to us at [email protected] or learn more at www.genderandfamilyproject.org .

Why is NYC stepping in after hospitals ended trans youth programmes?

Mount Sinai, NYU Langone Health and New York Presbyterian have ended programmes serving trans youth over the last year and reached settlements with the Trump administration.

New York City is planning $8.9m for trans youth care after major hospital systems ended under-18 gender-affirming care programmes.

“Every young person is entitled to the health care that they, their parents, and their medical providers agree that they need, without politicians interfering with these important and highly personal decisions."

Gender & Family Project’s Virtual Caregiver Resource Series: Featuring Andy from the Chosen Family Law Center

Wednesday, July 29th from 7:00-9:00pm ET
Virtually on Zoom

The legal environment in which trans, gender nonconforming, and gender expansive young people and their supportive parents find themselves is complicated and can be frightening.

This information and Q&A session with attorney and advocate Andy Izenson will help participants understand the landscape of state and federal law, think through strategy in support of their child, and connect with legal resources in their state to seek legal advice if needed. This session is open to trans, gender nonconforming, and gender expansive people of ALL ages and their parents, guardians, or caregivers.
