Transcription: 
Resources for children, the parents, and the family, has absolutely blossomed in the last five years. I can tell you about two that I am personally involved in. One is Gender Spectrum. Gender Spectrum is an education, advocacy and support program, for children and families that has a wonderful website, offers a yearly conference that people come to from all over the country. They go into schools to help with teachers, staff, parents, and children, and does education to other professionals. There is another organization that we have just started in the Bay area called, The Child and Adolescent Gender Center. We are a disciplinary group that offers medical, mental health, legal, educational, and advocacy support services, to any family who searching for help for themselves and their Gender Non-Conforming or the Transgender child. The first group also offers an online support group that any parent can join and get support, anywhere in the country. Those are just a few places that provide resources. If you go to the Gender Spectrum website, they have links to other websites that can really help you.
