a biweekly, virtual group for partners and spouses of gender-expansive individuals
You are at a transitional time in your relationship and you are looking for support.
You’re not sure how much or how little to share with your friends and family. You may even be worried about how they might respond.
Maybe you are even questioning your identity.
Your partner is going through a major transition AND so are you.
Sometimes there is confusion about what your relationship will look like through the transition and after it is over. This includes labels, attraction, name changes, pronoun changes… A lot of changes.
Hopefully, your partner has a ton of community around them and they’re getting lots of support.
This group was created so that YOU can also be held through this process. You don’t have to do this alone.
How do I sign-up?
This is an open, ongoing group. The group meets every other Monday at 7:30 pm pst.
Cost
$75 per session
