What is The TransFamily Alliance Community?
The TransFamily Alliance Premium Group is a membership community of parents that was co-created by parents of trans youth and Dr. Shawn V. Giammattei, a clinical family psychologist and gender specialist creating THE best place for parents with transgender/non-binary/gender-expansive children to get accurate resources and the support they need while raising healthy, well adjusted, and happy transgender & gender-expansive kids. The private group helps parents and caregivers, step by step, navigate the TransFamily Gender Journey… a journey all parents with trans or gender expansive offspring end up navigating.
The TransFamily Alliance Network
The TransFamily Alliance Network is support community for parents like you, raising transgender, non-binary, or gender expansive kids. The Main Network is accessible to any caregiver of a trans, non-binary, or gender expansive child, adolescent, or adult who has purchased a workshop or is a Member of one of the TransFamily Alliance premium groups.
