The Rainbow Project is now delivering a new support service for families of trans people in Northern Ireland. This service is taking over from Mermaids UK’s in-person service which ceased in Northern Ireland earlier this month.
Support for trans young people and their families is vital. Parents and families need to be provided with the space to process, ask questions, and talk to people who have been through it all before. Young people need to know that they aren’t alone, and that they and their families will be supported throughout what can be a challenging time.
Rainbow’s new Trans Family Support Service – SAIL – will be there, with dedicated support for families from professionals who have been working with trans communities and their families for years.
SAIL will ensure a continuity of support for transgender young people and their families in Northern Ireland.
You can get in touch with SAIL @ The Rainbow Project through our usual channels – email sail@rainbow-project.org, or call our Belfast office at 028 9031 9030.
