RESOURCES FOR
PATIENTS AND FAMILIES
Parents or caregivers of gender-questioning, gender diverse, gender fluid or transgender youth may have questions about how to best support their child or youth. Adult transgender patients may be looking for information, support or peers. As the most accessible healthcare professional, Pharmacists are perfectly positioned to offer resources for families or patients who are searching.
The list below encompasses groups across Canada, many with online and virtual connections. Asking someone in a private setting if they would like to be directed to helpful information is in the best interests of the patient's health, physical, mental, emotional and social.
