New Support Group Starting Soon!!
Your child has told you they are transgender. What does this mean?
PFLAG Skagit is proud to announce a new support group for parents and caregivers of transgender or gender-variant children/adolescents. This group will meet via Zoom for now, the fourth Sunday of month beginning in February from 3-5:00 pm.
Raising kids is hard enough but maneuvering through the myriad of questions, social interactions, worries, triumphs, and legal matters with your transgender child can be overwhelming. But you do not need to do it alone. In this support group you will find other parents just like you, with the same questions and feelings. It is a place to voice concerns only a parent has and a place to be heard in safety and confidentiality.
We hope you will join us and be a part of this community.
