Help for Queer & Trans Parents

No family is immune to mental health challenges, including queer & trans families.  In fact, queer & trans families are at higher risk for perinatal mood struggles for a variety of reasons including discrimination, stigma, personal mental health history, possible issues with their family of origin, conception or adoption complications, denial of parental rights, and more.
PSI offers specialized support for queer families.  We have a weekly Queer & Trans Families Support Group and a specialized Support Coordinator for members of the LGBTQIA+ community.  Please see more below.
Call the HelpLine

Queer & Trans Parent Support Group

Every Wednesday at 2:30pm Eastern/ 1:30pm Central / 12:30pm Mountain /  11:30am Pacific / 10:30am Alaska/ 9:30am Hawaii…and all other time zones are totally welcome!

PSI’s Queer & Trans Parent Support Group is FREE and open to all members of the queer & trans community who are expecting, adopting, and/or parenting babies up to 2 years. This group is intended for  gestational, non-gestational and adoptive parents.

Our online groups are here to help you connect with other parents, talk about your experience, and learn about helpful tools and resources. Whether you are going through stress, adjustment to parenting, baby blues, or pregnancy/postpartum depression/anxiety, our groups are here for you.

Please note this group is intended for those who are expecting, postpartum, adopting and/or post-adoption not those looking for information on trying to conceive or adoption.  Please contact Megan Roberts for more information on those topics.
