PROUD2BE Drop-in Groups for Parents (virtual)
Join other parents of gender-diverse youth for safe, judgment-free discussions co-facilitated by two experienced counsellors. This free, weekly drop-in group is a welcoming place for you to connect, ask questions, and learn more about how to support your queer, trans, non-binary, two-spirit, gender diverse and/or gender-questioning child or teen. We meet via Zoom on Tuesday evenings from 6:00-8:00pm. We look forward to you joining us.

This group is the thing I look forward to the most during the week. It’s a space where I truly belong and where I’m allowed to feel whatever I’m feeling and just be me.– PROUD2BE drop-in group participant
