Supporting Someone You Love

If someone you love is trans, or is in the middle of working out who they are, this guide is for you. Not for them: for you. The parent lying awake at night. The partner trying to say the right thing. The friend who wants to help but doesn't know how. The sibling who's been holding this quietly for months.

When someone you love transitions, you are on a journey too. That is not a small thing, and it deserves its own space.

This guide is free and yours to keep. It is made up of four modules you can read in any order, come back to, and download to return to whenever you need them.

• Understanding covers what gender identity actually is, what transition can look like in practice, and what the words mean, so you feel less lost in conversations that matter.
• Being there is about the relationship: how to listen well, what to say when you get it wrong, and how to show up for someone even when you're still finding your feet.
• Practical support walks through the real-world things you might be called on to help with, from navigating services to understanding what different stages of transition involve.
• Looking after yourself is about you: your feelings, your questions, your needs. Supporting someone through something this significant takes something out of you, and that matters too.
