Stoner, Lauren Elizabeth Mental Health Psychology Gender Glbt Studies Families and Family Life transgender gender diverse LGBT gender children adolescents family families Researchers have found that familial support can be a vital protective factor for young transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals as they navigate gender transition, and that a lack of familial support can put children at an increased risk of negative health and mental health outcomes. However, many adults have limited understanding of TGD identities, and may not know how to support their TGD children. Families adjusting to a child’s gender identity disclosure may seek educational resources to help them understand their child’s experience and process their own feelings/reactions. Therefore, the current project sought to identify and critically review existing, publicly available educational resources for families of TGD youth, and to provide recommendations for the development of future resources. An online search identified nine educational resources aimed at helping families of TGD youth increase their knowledge of transgender issues and skills for supporting their loved ones. The identifying features of the resources were compiled, organized into a table, and discussed. A thematic analysis of the content within these resources identified 26 themes and 14 sub-themes. The results of the thematic analysis were organized into a table and discussed in the context of current research. Recommendations for development of future affirming resources are provided which includes a proposed outline. Limitations included the limitation in scope of the project, such that an analysis of the content of non-affirming resources was not included, and the results of this analysis could not immediately be applied to the development of a new resource. 2020 English text Wright State University Professional Psychology Program / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=wsupsych1568143257483313 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=wsupsych1568143257483313 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
