Green Trans Group

The Green Trans Group is a group for transgender & nonbinary adolescents between the ages of 12 - 15 years old.  Our group is designed to be a collaborative, reflective, and enjoyable space where youth come together to be themselves and process their lives. Many trans adolescents don’t have much opportunity (outside of the internet) to connect with other trans folks, and especially to get to talk about tender topics in an intentional container. Topics get selected by the group each week, so the group is both unique and designed around the members’ actual needs. We might talk about transgender representation in music & movies, coming out to friends, challenging negative assumptions about us, and correcting misgendering, among a host of other things. The intention is that clients will be supported in building their authentic self in a room of others who understand how complicated it can be, and also get a sense of friendship & solidarity. 

This group meets in-person from 6:30 - 8 PM on Monday evenings. Group is capped at 8 members to ensure everyone gets space to participate and we can build deeper trust with each other, and members are encouraged to come weekly when enrolled.

Our group name is inspired by the Tarot card pictured to the right. The description reads: "The Green Man is a marker of Spring and the embodiment of new growth. His story aims to inspire and encourage you to get curious. Catalogue each lesson, and enjoy each phase of life. Commit yourself to self-growth. This includes studying the world you live in, acquiring knowledge through experiences that stretch you, permitting your feelings to be felt, and taking time to understand yourself and others. To flourish in this compliated world, plant introspection, tend to your self-awareness, and grow." -  Fantastic Beings Manifestation Cards | watercolor & words by Rebecca Lefebvre ; Illustrations by Phoebe Hunt.
