About this service
Struggling with your gender identity/expression? Struggling with how others respond to you? No matter where you fall on the gender continuum Gender Journeys can help. Gender Journeys support group is an all-inclusive community-based support group for individuals who identify at various points along the gender spectrum (e.g. transgender, gender-queer, gender nonconforming). We offer a safe and therapeutic space where members can process their thoughts and feelings about relevant issues associated with gender. The group also aims to facilitate physical, social and emotional impacts of gender transition and to create a space to foster community support and connection. It is a safe meeting place for all trans and gender diverse people who have undergone, or who are interested in accessing, gender-affirming medical care (or alternatives). Whether you are nervous about an upcoming surgery or hormones, want to share your wisdom, or just want to connect with other trans people moving through the medical system all are welcome. Come meet other folks to chat, share resources and tips, and learn from each other. The group is collectively run by participants, supported by facilitators. Some examples of discussion topics can include exploration of coming out challenges, exploring inquiries related to the process of transitioning, examining experiences of transphobia, identifying strategies for maintaining safety, and developing an identity-affirming support system.
