Family Support
At TransNewYork, we wish for all individuals discovering their gender identity to be comfortable and safe in holding discussions with their loved ones. We organize group meetings that offer education and awareness to spouses, parents, siblings, and other relatives.
Our group meetings at TransNewYork provide the following:
- Support and education for family members
- Relationship development
- Complete confidentiality
While we are based in New York, you do not have to be local to attend. We can also conduct meetings via phone calls and Skype, among other forms of technological communication.
We want to ensure that we provide a safe, secure, and judgment-free environment. You may contact us at info@transnewyork.org or call us at (516) 421-1663 to arrange a pre-meeting call to help prepare you for our meetings.
