For parents/carers of gender diverse or gender questioning young people

About Us

about 

Many parents can feel isolated and alone on their journey of understanding and supporting their young person's gender identity

Many parents/carers of Transgender and Gender Diverse young people feel alone, isolated and confused.

Being in a regional area, there was previously been no access to any face-to-face peer support groups for parents/carers. The purpose of this support group is to fill this much needed gap in the Bendigo region.

Group Objectives

  • Provide a safe, supportive and confidential environment for parents/carers of Transgender and Gender Diverse young people
  • To support and assist each other through your young persons journey
  • The opportunity to meet other parents/families/carers who are going through a similar experience/journey
  • To share and gather information/knowledge and resources on Transgender and Gender Diversity
  • To present guest speakers that are relevant and knowledgeable on Transgender and Gender Diversity to the parent support group

expressions of interest 

If you would like to meet other parents/carers, share experiences together, hear from guest speakers and learn more about a range of health, legal and social topics that are relevant to transgender and gender diverse young people and their families.
