TYES (Trans-Youth education & Support of Colorado) – is an organization that was founded in 2007 as a support group for gender-variant children and their families. TYES is dedicated to helping parents cope with their gender-variant children, and to help families find the information, resources, and the understanding that they need. While the youth enjoy each others company, the parents meet together to support one another. Often this support means helping families through the process of acceptance and understanding. We also work together to find solutions for children who are starting school in their affirmed gender. Sometimes we help each other understand the future regarding safety, hormones, emotional concerns and much more.Most importantly, TYES provides children with a safe place to be themselves without the harsh judgments they often encounter. In our short time as a group, we have seen several young people find a new sense of themselves. They find freedom in knowing they are not alone, and in being with a group of people who celebrate them just the way they are. TYES supports all families of gender variant youth, not just those that are transitioning or considering transition. If you would like to join us, please email us at the address below. Please know that we recognize that privacy is critical for our families and we work hard to protect the privacy of everyone in the group. For more information on how TYES can help your family, please use the contact information below: Phone: (720) 443-7708 Email: [email protected] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TYESgroup

Transgender Support Social: Peer Lead. Meets the 3rd Friday of each month 6:00pm-8:00pm, Free. The counselors at Guided Path Psychological Services have been aware of the growing need for a safe place where folks who are in ALL stages of transitioning (including questioning), can meet with each other, develop friendships, have support and just connect. This group is free of charge and will be peer lead, meaning that although Guided Path has therapeutic support groups lead by professional staff, this group will be a little different from that. It will be a much needed group designed so that you can connect with others in a safe and supportive environment. If you have questions, feel free to call Dr. Bonnie Estensen at (847) 809-3031. Bring a friend, the only criteria is that all attending should identify as gender fluid, transgendered, or questioning.

Washington Gender Alliance – We are a support and educational organization serving the entire gender community of Washington State. We run two weekly Open Support meetings in two different cities, and have been in continuous operation since 1996. Meetings: The Alliance holds support meetings run by trained peer facilitators that we select, to help people who are questioning their gender, coming to terms with their true gender identity, negotiating the coming out process, navigating transition (if applicable), or are looking for information for themselves or someone in their life. Currently, we are running two weekly Open Support meetings in two cities which are appropriate for adults. At times, we have also offered specialized support meetings for non-transgendered people who are our friends and family, and for male-identified individuals who were raised as females. Our goal is to help people who are transgender, gender variant or whose lives may be directly or indirectly involved with a transgender or gender variant person. We do this primarily by conducting community-oriented, peer-facilitated, open support groups. Our group attendees include people who may be questioning their gender identity, coming to terms with their gender identity, negotiating the coming-out process, navigating transition or who are looking for information for themselves or someone in their life. We also welcome post-transition transgender people who have integrated into society with their true gender identity and who wish to stay involved by helping others by sharing their knowledge or experience. WGA support meetings are intended for mature individuals, because similarity of experience is key to peer support. It is essential that group members be able to participate in an adult conversation without feeling uncomfortable or causing other participants to feel uncomfortable. WGA support meetings are conducted by trained peer facilitators. New facilitators are selected from our community by our practicing facilitators. All facilitators work within a team structure and receive initial and on-going training. We currently conduct our standard weekly support meetings in four cities: Bellingham, Everett, Shoreline and Walla Walla. The WGA is eager to expand our offerings to new communities and/or populations. For example, new groups could focus on specific transgender individuals, such as significant others, family, friends and allies (SOFFA) or female to male (FTM) transgender people. Please contact us if you are interested in starting a group in your area. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/WashingtonGenderAlliance/ Phone: (360) 445-2411 Email: [email protected]

We are an inclusive group dedicated to providing opportunities to meet and socialize and help you build your confidence to go out into the larger community through a variety of activities, meetings and events. We recognize that we are all on a unique and very personal ‘journey’ and wherever you are at this moment in time or whatever your goals are in life, our goal is simply to provide a safe, comfortable and fun social environment to enable you to explore who you are and help you on your journey. If you are already comfortable with where you are in your life and just want to make some likeminded friends in the trans community, we certainly welcome you too. Postal Mail: Xpressions, P.O. Box 223, Station A, Toronto, Ont. M5W 1B2.
