In this wide-ranging interview with Axa Carnes, a well-educated counselor and activist, Dr. Jackson explores the new phenomenon of rapid-onset gender dysphoria, which is affecting many teenagers with undiagnosed/untreated psychiatric disorders. This dysphoria is being treated with life-altering drugs and surgeries, the consequences of which Mrs. Carnes will clearly delineate.
You have to be vetted by leadership to be part of these groups. Parents will have a phone call or a Zoom meeting with a chapter leader before being accepted into the group.

https://hurtingmomsmendinghearts.org/ (Christian group). They have specific support groups for moms of trans identifying children. They have monthly zoom support meetings and also a great course that I took.

The groups below are for everyone. Some offer support but also have a wealth of resources and information.
https://www.parentsofrogdkids.com/ State local support. This organization has sub-groups for boys and parents of adults.
https://genderdysphoriasupportnetwork.com/ - Parent support groups via Zoom. They have meetings for new parents, parents of estranged or medicalized kids, etc.
https://ourduty.group/ Great resource for parents. They don't have support groups. It's more informational.
Other resources for parents
https://www.pittparents.com/ - A substack with hundreds of stories from parents who have a trans identified child or young adult. There are also a few stories from detransitioners.
NOTE: Christian parents can join these groups and ask for the faith sub-groups. It's easy to get connected once you are a part of the larger support groups.
