Special thanks to the Holiday With Heart Charity Gayla for funding this training series for Northwest Ohio youth-serving professionals and families.

Youth & Caregiver Gender Support Group Interest Survey
Youth & Caregiver Gender Support Group Interest Survey
Kaleidoscope Youth Center (KYC) is interested in offering an eight (8) week support group for both trans youth and their adults/caregivers. This group would provide both a shared and separate space for youth and their adult to learn about gender identity and navigating the world in these identities. We encourage all youth and their caregivers to come as they are and learn in a safe space with the support of staff and one another. Caregivers/Adults will have a space to learn alongside other caregivers who are navigating how best to support their young person explore their identity. Youth will have a space to learn more about identity exploration and find community with other trans and gender expansive youth. If you are interested in attending a group like this, please fill out the interest survey below:
