Tranzmission offers ongoing support groups, both virtually and in person. Each meeting is 90 minutes, confidential, and peer-led by trained facilitators. Every new participant goes through a screening process in order to stay intentional about the safety of our community. After a successful screening, you will be added to an email list specific to the group(s) you are joining. Check out the Get Involved page to get started.
Please Note: Our support groups are specifically for the transgender, nonbinary, gender expansive, and gender questioning communities. For the safety of our members, these meetings are not open to people who firmly identify as cisgender (meaning those who identify as the gender they were assigned at birth). If you are cisgender and have questions about how to advocate for and support a trans loved one, please email support@tranzmission.org.
Our current schedule is as follows (all times are listed in Eastern Standard Time):
