Join us for Roots & Shoots in Charlottetown on the Last Wednesday of the month, 6 - 8pm at the Haviland Club!
Are you a parent or caregiver of a transgender or gender creative child? Roots & Shoots is a supportive space for families with trans or gender diverse children. This program is based on the two most important parts of a plant: the Roots (parents & caregivers) are responsible for nurturing the Shoots (children & dependents) to be the best version of themselves they can be!
No matter how old your child is, all family members are welcome to join PEERS Alliance staff & volunteers to have discussions, gain knowledge, and enjoy light refreshments in a non-judgmental environment. Bring your open minds and hearts, and learn best practices for supporting the trans or gender diverse member(s) of your family. If your gender creative child is under 13 years of age, you can bring them along for the Shoots portion of the evening! We partner with Sierra Club PEI Wild Child, and the evening includes fun, outdoor programming with staff, volunteers, and kids who are just like them. Cisgender siblings under 13 welcome. If your youth is 12 - 18, they can join Saplings—a supportive space for trans and gender diverse youth aged 12 - 18.
