TTFN Conversation Toolkit

The Trans Teen and Family Narratives (TTFN) Project is led by Dr. Sabra L. Katz-Wise (she/her), an Associate Professor in Adolescent/Young Adult Medicine at Boston Children’s Hospital, in Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, and in Social and Behavioral Sciences at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health. Dr. Katz-Wise also co-directs the Harvard SOGIE Health Equity Research Collaborative.  Dr. Katz-Wise has a long history of research and advocacy with trans youth and their families.

 

Our whole team is based at Boston Children’s Hospital, in the Division of Adolescent/Young Adult Medicine. The team includes trans people, nonbinary people, queer cisgender people, and allies. We started this project with a community-based study, in which we interviewed and surveyed trans teens and their families every 6 months across 2 years to learn about their experiences and support needs. Take a look at our website for more information about the TTFN Project.

 

This toolkit is designed to support families with trans teens by encouraging engagement with the experiences of transgender people and providing resources to foster healthy and productive conversations among family members.​

  • Eight brief videos created by trans young adults about their own family experiences.
  • Discussion guides paired with each video which provide suggestions for conversation starters or personal reflection.
  • Supplemental tools to help families prepare for or expand their use of this toolkit.
  • Resources for families with trans teens

 

Who is this aimed at?

This toolkit is designed to support families with trans teens by encouraging engagement with the experiences of transgender people and providing resources to foster healthy and productive conversations among family members. It can be used by families at home or in therapy/support settings with mental health providers.
