Join Dr. Shawn V Giammattei Founder and CEO of the Gender Health Training Institute, and Transfamily Alliance, and Kyle Ang from Sam & Devorah Foundation for Trans Youth for Courageous Conversations — a 90-minute, supportive webinar designed to help parents navigate these turbulent times with compassion, clarity, and confidence.

Together, we’ll explore how to talk with your kid about what’s happening in the world, how to support their mental health and resilience, and how to strengthen your connection even when you don’t have all the answers. You’ll leave with practical communication tools, advocacy resources, and renewed hope for helping your child and your family thrive — at home, at school, and beyond.

Parenting a transgender, nonbinary, or gender-expansive child can feel overwhelming at times — full of questions, worries, and the desire to “get it right.” In this one-hour conversation, Rebecca Minor, LICSW — gender specialist, parent coach, and author of the book Raising Trans Kids: What to Expect When You Weren’t Expecting This — explores what families most need as they navigate their child’s gender journey.
