Links I Have Used and Know

• There’s Room At Our Table (T.R.O.T.) Facebook

• PFLAG (National)

• PFLAG (Houston)

• Behavioral Health and Suicide Prevention Community Task Force, Montgomery County (BHSP) Main website

• BHSP Pediatric Suicide Prevention Team (LGBTQIA)

• The Woodlands Pride Facebook

• Legacy Clinic, Houston

• Gender Infinity Annual Conference (and more)

Additional Resources

• The gender unicorn or genderbread person . These resources are a great thing to go over with anyone about the differences between gender, sex, attraction, etc. There are lots of pages that use these images. I linked to the unicorn page I like because it has BOTH an example of a “filled out” unicorn page and a place to download blank ones for people to fill in for themselves.

• Hatch is a queer youth group held at the Montrose Center. Many of the kids there are trans or gender expansive. They have groups for 13-20 year olds several days a week. I know they used to have a Hatch Jr. group for 7-12 year olds. The parents of the Jr’s would meet simultaneously for a parent support session. I think this may not have survived the pandemic in the same form that I knew it, but some services are still available.

• The Trevor Project . This is a suicide prevention organization that provides support to LGBTQ+ young people. Youth can text or call or chat online for help 24/7. All young queer people need to know about this.
