DESCRIPTION

A Grand Love | Thursday, October 24 at 3:00 p.m.
Grandparents who become aware that their grandchild's gender identity doesn't match the sex assigned to them at birth can feel confused and alone. While the field of knowledge in this area is growing at a very fast pace, many therapists, counsellors, teachers, and school administrators remain unskilled and uninformed when it comes to working with transgender or gender diverse children and their parents, grandparents, and other family members.
Part educational, part storytelling, and chock-full of inspiration, A Grand Love: Stories for Grandparents of Transgender Grandchildren will inform and uplift anyone who reads it.
At this gathering, Janna Barkin will read a few excerpts from her book A Grand Love, and there will be time for Q. and A.

Presenter: Janna Barkin
