Key "Partner" Groups:
PTK (Parents of Trans Kids) DELAWARE. PTK offers support group meetings for parents/caregivers of transgender and gender-expansive children. In addition, they provide gender identity and expression support, advocacy and education to our community. Support group meetings are both virtual (Zoom) and in-person.

PTK Youth Group. This informal monthly peer support and social gathering was designed by the coordinators of PTK (Parents of Trans Kids) to provide a safe space for youth who are transgender or gender diverse to connect, express, and ask questions of one another and their mentor. Youth between the ages of 10-21 are welcome to attend; exceptions made when youth outside those age parameters are interested and would benefit. Currently, meetings are held remotely and moderated by a licensed psychotherapist and former educator. Contact PTKDelaware@gmail.com for information about the parent group and contact maggiedmccool@gmail.com with questions about youth meetings.
Zoom sessions held 3rd Wednesday of each month at 7:00 - 8:15PM
