Stepping Stones of NJ is a compassionate support group dedicated to fostering a safe and understanding space for parents of transgender and gender diverse youth. With a commitment to creating a supportive community, the group allows parents to share their experiences, challenges, and triumphs in navigating the complexities of supporting their children. Through regular meetings, parents find solace in connecting with others who share similar journeys, offering a network of understanding and encouragement. Additionally, the group provides a valuable opportunity for transgender and gender diverse youth to engage with a dedicated youth worker, fostering connections and building a sense of community among the children themselves.

Youth who attend will be separated by age to ensure a positive experience. Children ages 5-10 will be offered a craft or game to play, and youth 11-14 will meet together to check in with a mental health provider and/or work on a fun activity together.

Registration is required. A staff member will contact you with location information after registration is complete.
