Families in TRANSition:
About Families in TRANSition: Families In TRANSition: A Resource Guide for Parents of Trans Youth is the first comprehensive Canadian publication to address the needs of parents and families supporting their trans children. Families in TRANSition summarizes the experiences, strategies, and successes of a working group of community consultants – researchers, counsellors, parents, advocates as well as trans youth themselves. Families in TRANSition provides the stories of parents and youth along with practical and sensitive parent-to-parent and professional therapeutic advice. This guide was written and published by CTYS (Central Toronto Youth Services) with the support and collaboration of many community members and organizations, especially P-FLAG Toronto (Parents Family and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) and Transceptance (a Toronto support group for parents of trans youth).
Support for Families in Transition : "This guide will be an invaluable resource for both trans youth and their families right across the province." ~The Honourable George Smitherman, MPP, Ontario Minister of Health and Longterm Care “This comprehensive, insightful and empowering guide provides encouragement and
hope as we parents take a deep breath and accompany ou r gender-variant children on
the shared journey to full acceptance, dignity and celebration.”
