For
Transgender Youth |
|
|
We know that young people
struggle with issues unique to their being
transgender--because we sure did. We
understand how overwhelming this can be, confusing
and how isolated you may feel. We understand
you may be fearful of sharing how your feel with
your friends & family because what they might think.
If you are questioning your
gender, know that you are not alone and we can offer
friendship, support and resources to help you
communicate with your family, friends and school
about your identity. Education and
socialization are two vital tools to help young
people find personal satisfaction, gain acceptance
and realize your goals of achievement. We want you
to feel empowered.
Below is downloadable material
and links you may find helpful. We would love
to hear from you and can put you in touch with
others like yourself.
